These last 3 weeks went by way too fast and also awfully slowly. Since our last update, Hubby and I visited our son and his family in California for 4 days and came home sick on Palm Sunday. I finally started feeling somewhat better on Easter (no celebration though) and I finished my antibiotics yesterday. Hubby is still feeling very rundown, but no longer coughing. Never the less, there was little to no crafting happening for almost 2 weeks. That being said, this is where I was on Three Boats for the last update.
I thought I would have this page completed by the end of March, but I am almost there. Here is a closeup of the last page that starts just under the boat.
Those stitches you see at the bottom are the bottom of the page. There has been an awful lot of confetti in this stitching and well....I was sick. Hopefully this page will be finished by the next update, but no guarantees.

Those confetti stitches take a long time but they give lots of depth to the picture. Glad you are feeling better. Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you have been poorly -- but glad to hear you're on the mend. I love your Three Boats piece -- all of that confetti stitching is so worth it!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the confetti stitching is worth it, but there are way to many singleton stitches in this small area.
DeleteTraveling and getting sick is so YUK but glad to read you're on the mend. I know you'll catch up with the stitching. It is looking really beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteI am glad you are finally feeling better; it’s no fun at all to come home sick!
ReplyDeleteBetter now, though another cold may be brewing.
DeleteI hope you are feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteI am. Thank you.
Deletehope you and the husband are feeling much better, and well done for almost finishing the next page!
ReplyDeleteWe are better, though I may have another cold brewing. Could be allergies.
Deletethis is what happened to me in December when I was ill, the lingering was awful and I did 2 rounds of antibiotics then had to treat thrush 2 times. May you and your husband feel better soon and have complete IMMUNITY.
ReplyDeleteCathie: I am so sorry you were ill, I hope you both are back to perfect health quickly.
