Inflammable means flammable? What a country!

So says Dr. Nick Riviera.

This is a piece that I stitched up about 6 months ago but never got around to stretching.  I stitched it on a single layer of Kona Cotton.

I can see so much more puckering and pulling in the piece, especially with the heavy long and short fill stitch in the flame.

I can see improvement in my more recent stitching. I put a lot into this piece, though, and I learned a lot.

It is a process, learning to stitch.  That's really all I can ask for.  Feeling oddly blah today.  Got to take it stitch by stitch.  Maybe I should watch some Simpsons and gather some more wisdom from Dr. Nick and his Upstairs Hollywood Medical School training!

Luna likes it. My sweet little high contrast puppy!

Hex Quilt Photos on a rainy day

It is dreary and raining today.  I took a few photos of the current state of my hex quilt.  Luna is always demanding to walk all over it.  I can't imagine making anything without her sticking her snout or paws into the scene!  Last night she pawed a baby sweater that I was knitting, causing me to drop a couple of stitches.  Monstrous beast!

I ordered some more fabric from one of my favorite fabric bundle sellers on etsy, starlitnest. I bought the charm pack of Anna Marie Horner's Innocent Crush collection.

They look so delicious and I can't wait for them to arrive!

Here are a few close ups of some of the hexes.

Back to stitching!
