I made good progress on my retreat piece today. The stitching for the strawberry fob and the pinkeep are done; I have a little more ribbon embroidery and beadwork to do on the pincushion. I may leave this final little bit for next weekend; I'm antsy to do some plain old cross stitch!
The strawberry...
The pincushion...the remaining beadwork and ribbon embroidery will go along the outside edge...
And the pinkeep...
Very tired - did some spring cleaning today - washed windows and vacuumed under furniture that hadn't been moved in awhile. I'm pooped!
Thanks for stopping by!

Just lovely, the ribbon flowers and the bargello part too. I love doing bargello, but I also know what you mean about just regular cross stitch. CJ in OK ;-)
What a bonnie design, I love the mix of stitches.
I'm impressed ... both with the stitching project & the spring cleaning : ) Congratulations!
Your stitching is so pretty! This piece is going to be wonderful! Good for you for doing some spring cleaning too!
You made short work of that set! I'd be plugging along for weeks. Such a beautiful design and your stitches are perfect.
Very nice, Cathy! I love the pink flowers. I nned to do some spring cleaning, too! Maybe tomorrow.
Lovely stitching! We had this project at our retreat in NH and it looks like you won't have much left to stitch at your retreat. :)I hope you have a wonderful time.

Beautiful stitching Cathy! Such a wonderful mix of stitches!
Way to go on getting a jump on the spring cleaning! I have so much to do yet and I just get overwhelmed when I think of all of it. I know... one thing at a time, lol!
Oh what a lovely piece, combining the needlepoint bargello with embroidery. Love the colors
