 This photo, taken this morning, shows how far I have gotten in one week. I have finished filling in the background for the border and am happily working on the motifs in the center. I absolutely love doing the outlines for the motifs and watching the pattern grow. As you can see, I am almost done one half of the design. Currently, I am trying to decide if I continue working all of the outlines for the entire middle, or, stop at halfway and fill that in before working on the other half. I am having so much fun doing the outlines that I will probably continue. Today I will have to decide as I hope to work most of the day on my stitching. The weather doesn't look too promising so it will be easy to stay inside and work on my stitching instead of going outside to garden. 😉

 This week I decided to set the stair runners aside for the moment and work on my Sonja rug for a bit of a change. I have been able to get quite a bit done on the background for the border and, as you can see, am almost finished the border.
Once the border is done, I can begin the outlining of the motifs in the center of the rug. I am looking forward to doing this but am getting a bit worried as I am running out of the Winter White I am using for the background and may not be able to get any for a while due to the travel restrictions and store closures. Fingers crossed that Walmart stocks this color as they are still open. However, I have lots of motifs to do in the center so I can keep busy for a long time without having to do the background color. Hopefully next week I can show you some of the progress in the center...
Today, I thought I would post some photos of the back of my stair runners. Since the runners will be approximately 20" long, I must move the fabric down as I complete the areas within the frame. When I move the fabric down, I take care to put thumbtacks between the two runners and on the outer edges of the fabric. This way, I don't distort the stitches that I have already completed. When stitching, I also tuck the extra, already stitched fabric up behind with thumb tacks so that it doesn't fray or get dirty.
 I am now entering my fourth week of isolation and social distancing due to Covid-19 and I am getting lots of things done in my various crafts. In order to make it interesting, I rotate between my crafts every day. Most often, I find myself in my workroom working on my dollhouse, however, I do take time every evening to stitch so I have progress to show you.
The pattern has been stitched for most of this window section of the runners and I am filling in the backgrounds. I have a few more full window sections to fill but it is coming along slowly, but surely. I am looking forward to being able to put the finished runners into my dollhouse. 🙂 |
