More Speedweveing. This Time with a Pattern

I wanted to mark the pillowcases I use to cover the cats heated loungers, so I tried this pattern on my darning device. I like how it turned out.

Here’s how it looks with the ends pulled back (and before I washed it to get rid of my square and the authentic cat hair.)

It is a very fun machine!

Deciding the Quote for My #YearofStitch Sampler

You can see my also-rans. I still like “Cleave ever to the sunny side of doubt”

I went with Century Gothic for the font (font choice was hard!) and held up the bird part to see how the quote fit.

Sadly, I left out the L in “world” and didn’t notice until I was tracing.

Happily, I didn’t like the placement anyway, so I made plans to spray away the quote after I finished embroidering. I can fix both the missing letter and the positioning.
