Weekly update June 27th, 2021

Hi everyone, 

I signed up for the Summer Stitching Challenge at Embroidery.com. for the month of June. 30 minutes a day., and accountability photos. No needleminders awarded for this - just the satisfaction of getting the chance to stitch everyday!

I expected this to be a very productive week as the humidity dropped and cooler temperatures - but I was wrong. 

Monday I had the start of a sinus headache...Tuesday night I had chills and a 102 ° F fever that lasted until Friday but came back Friday night. Saturday was my first day of stitching since Monday.  Sunday my fever was finally gone.

Sunday I spent my time frogging out every stitch! I missed a few of the bottom legs of the cream star crosses.. and I did not like like my tension of the blue stem stitches. 

So now it's back to blank fabric.
