Stitchin' on the QT

Here's a sneak preview of  my cyberspace mystery project. I am having a wonderful time stitching this large canvas and thankfully, I've been able to progress without detection this far. I had a suprise visit from the recipient of this piece and actually had to throw a garment of clothing over my floor stand to avoid a premature reveal. It was a close call.

The photo above left shows medium sized balloon stitches in Vineyard Silk and then reverse diagonal scotch also in Vineyard Silk. Then at right is a giant sized balloon stitched in charcoal Silk and Ivory (I changed from using black VS). You can't tell very much now but the round, long stitched area on the right of the photo is cleverly padded for effect and stitched with both Vineyard Silk and Burmilana. Lucious threads provided in the kit by the queen of fun projects and glitzy stuff!

Today is Mother's Day, a special day indeed to celebrate the best gift of all, our children! I am hoping you get in all the stitching your heart desires today and always. See you soon.
