And, yes, I think the fine line between stretching and stressing with the Starry Night embroidery may be worth walking.

Not sure when we'll actually be able to go, but I do love planning and walking through the itinerary in my mind when I can't sleep. So it's no wonder that my craft journeys are pointed that direction, too. :)Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10404524560902068516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245730758736473570.post-30096540918325354692021-02-09T18:08:21.913-08:002021-02-09T18:08:21.913-08:00Thanks Kathy!

Starry Night would stress me out, but I've been doing that lately with my embroider and it's been kind of nice to stretch a bit. The wave is so pretty and completely different.<br /><br />I have a soft spot for all things Sashiko. That looks like a quick stitch and might be fun to work on in between one of the others.stitchingirlblog.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667875464594937456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245730758736473570.post-69277956659559955652021-02-07T06:08:54.056-08:002021-02-07T06:08:54.056-08:00so well done on finishing tiger! and you seem to ...so well done on finishing tiger! and you seem to be having a very Japan inspired line-up for new projects!Clairehttp://claire93.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245730758736473570.post-49139048495287985742021-02-07T05:40:49.741-08:002021-02-07T05:40:49.741-08:00💕 Mr. Tiger!

You could also quickly stitch that sashiko bag and then move on to the embroidery. I have been lucky enough to schedule appointments in March for my 93 year old mother and 87 year old MIL. I wish you luck in getting a vaccine appointment for your mom.

The wave is lovely too. I remember your last sashiko project which turned out beautifully so my vote would be for number 3. Whatever you make will be lovely. Enjoy your well earned Happy Dance :-)Sewing Beside the Seahttp://sewingbesidethesea.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
