With Thy Needle and Thread - Project Quarantine: Stay Home & Stitch. A new start and a finish. I can not even explain how this got started. But suddenly the pattern from a purchase a year ago was in my hand again, and I thought, let's just take a quick look at the fabric stash... and there was a scrap of - not a clue what jobelan, 28 count. And I thought, well..., certainly if it was the right size, you'd HAVE to stitch it, right? Stupid right size of fabric for this pattern, and it just took 3 days. Used called for flosses mostly. The white I used Grits since I didn't have the Arrowhead called for. I altered a few things here and there... but it's DONE. Finish #4 for 2021. Finished size is 9.25 wide by 3.25 high in inches. 2 over 2, except for area in the hoop part, which is 1 over 1 on the pattern. So this one was also not on my list of already started things, it was also a new start... as was that mid-sized ship finish last time. I'm starting to see why that started pile is growing, not shrinking. But I fully admit, I'm thinking you HAVE to stitch QUARANTINE patterns mostly DURING a quarantine. You know..., if you can....
