Yes, you read that right. It's a black Sunday. When I first thought about Black Sunday it was because the color of my thread for the day. In both my quilting and my cross stitch, I will be using black thread.
I prepped my thread and was all excited about getting to craft.
I took some left over batting and taped it on my card table next to my laptop. I do most of my hand stitching and cross stitch while in my living room so I can watch the computer AND television while stitching. It might be a bit weird but seems to work in my small space.
So I picked up my quilting project and started to quilt. I thought I'd do the buttonhole stitch by machine this time since I should finish the project in 7 days. Everything was going along well and THEN I ran into a snafu.
Where did that clump of thread come from? Why now when it's about half way done? GRRRRrrrr.
So I decied to take a break from that because I found myself thinking perhaps I'll just scrap that whole idea and see what I can with the fabric instead. That might still happen. I hope my sewing machine was just being onry this once since I have a couple of wall hangins that I need to finish while on vacation.
Since I have my black thread all ready for my Raven cross stitch, I thought I'd switch to that. So now I"m back to looking at the lilac bush and stitching on the Raven. I decided I should take a better picture of the lilacs. The other one was taken through the window screen. Here is an unobstructive view of the lilac bush.
Time for me to get stitching. So I hope everybody has a good day.
