Yup, Loara Standish. I had already prepared the fabric by serging the edges. So, as soon as Jane was finished. I removed the scroll rods from the floor stand, and replaced with small scroll rods, necessary for a band sampler.
After much dread, I finally put the first stitches in today. I have to tell you, that I am definitely intimidated by Loara! Especially after looking after the complicated directions. I think I will probably not stitch it double sided, to save myself some aggravation. Plus, there are quite a few new stitches, I haven't even done before. I.E. The Standish stitch. Named after Loara herself. Not even in the few embroidery books I have. At least the illustrations enclosed were large enough and descriptive that I was able to figure it out.
On the homefront, the basement bathroom is still not finished. As of today, we have exactly, FIVE days to get it done. Wish I knew how to do plumbing, and electrical! I'd finish it myself!
I did manage, to bath Holly. Dixie did finally get a hair cut. I have, however, not been able to finish with her, since it has rained for the last 4 days here constantly. Not conducive to trimming the legs! But she got her ears cleaned out, and I can see her eyes again, due to the eyebrow trim.
Well, that's bout all for this week. Until next week, happy stitching!
Congratulations on getting Jane finished, Pam! She is stunning. Good luck to you as you journey with Loara!
