Almost On Time

The original title of this post was "Right On Time." I was quite chuffed! Unfortunately, when I looked at the calendar with more focus I realized it hadn't been turned to September. That means I am late with the Totally Useless Stitch A Long.

Again.

This is becoming a long running joke!


I have been plugging away at Finery of Nature. Slowly, I might add. Currently, I am working on the flowers and the border to the right of the dragonfly. The black fabric is getting easier (I'm making friends with it) and the more I do the more excited I get about the design. There is something about these jewel colors on the black fabric that enchants.

=^..^=

Now it is YOUR turn...we want to see your ORTs! Leave a comment on this post with a link to your September TUSAL post so we can come visit! If I hold a Totally Useless giveaway your comment will earn you an extra entry.

Wondering what a TUSAL is and why all these people are posting pictures of rubbish? Click here to learn more and join the fun!

    Sharon: First I want to say what a beautiful design you are stitching, I have only stitched on black once on a small piece it almost drove me nuts.
    I want to tell you how sorry I am about not thanking you for the beautiful fob you sent me, I am so sorry the day it arrived was the day Mike was having triple bypass surgery, it was put aside and found today I am so ashamed.
    I will be posting a photo tomorrow and how I am using it.
    Thank-you it is lovely.

    Blessings
    Catherine

    Omigosh, you're still working away on this! Have I mentioned before that I have a partially sewn one in my basement. I started it in California, so prior to 2003!

    The black fabric is a challenge. But you know, so, so worth it!
