Sewing in the Car

Christine came over for a hand stitching night this week.  She started a new wool project and I continued to work on my counted cross stitch project, "Tree of Life" based on a stained glass window by Frank Lloyd Wright.  I did lots of backstitching this week and completed the centre section of the window.  Near the end of the week, my husband and I took a long car trip and I brought Frank along for the ride.  I stitched in the car for several hours and made great progress, until I dropped the needle. My husband pulled off the road at the next exit and we both looked for the needle, but to no avail.  I had to put Frank away for the rest of the trip...

You can see that I have started the cross stitching at the top of the window. (I took the picture in the car so sorry for the bad lighting!)

Today, I was able to find some more needles so I am good to go for some more stitching tomorrow. (They are called tapestry needles...they should do the job for my cross stitching.)

I took these pictures in my garden this week.  This grass is in a planter on my patio.

Same grass, different views...

Happy Slow Sunday Stitching!
