Daily Stitching #4 almost done from Notes from Studio B

I'm almost finished with my fourth daily stitching for the year, just some blank spots around the edges are left to do.





 I'm still undecided on what to do for the next one, I have three ideas in the running. Hopefully by next week I'll have settled on one.

Oak Leaves from Notes from Studio B

A friend of mine has an oak tree in her backyard so I gathered a hand full of leaves to print. Most of the oak trees around here are red oak and have points at the end of the leaves, but I was told this is a Burr Oak and the leaves are more rounded. At any rate I liked the shape of the leaves. I had time to do four cyanotype prints, removed the color from three of them, left one that way and then toned the other two. So far I have the prints, an idea or two ...

25 Million Stitches
  To give you an idea of how oversized the hands are, I've included my own in the photo below.

There's not much happening here, I'm keeping up with the stitching but nothing new to report. Tomorrow is hubby's last chemo treatment, yeah!! The cumulative effect of these treatments is really starting to wear him down so hopefully after this one he can start working on getting his strength back. He has a month before surgery ...

A Bit of Improvisational Piecing from Notes from Studio B

I gathered up the scraps left over from Don's Chemo quilt and spent some time sewing them all together. I'm now sewing together what's left plus a few more pieces to make the back. It will be a donation quilt.

Lots of Stitching from Notes from Studio B

I've started my panel that I'm stitching for the "25 Million Stitches"project.

This is one of three oversized hands that I'll be stitching, each will be a different shade of tan or brown. I also plan on stitching the entire background, that's a lot of stitches but no where near 25 million.
