Fixed...

 Needle Pillow by Little by Little Design Co.
 I pulled out - 'thread to making' - and put back - 'thread to make'.
So it's finished, again. Still finish # 21 for 2020.
If you wanna buy the pattern, it's on the Brenda Gervais website for $8.
Here is the link - Needle Pillow pattern.

With Thy Needle and Thread - Baltimore Saltbox.
Mine is on a scrap of 28 count Cameo Jobelan.  It's done except the eggshell, which is about 700 flag stripe stitches.  Used the fancy flosses except for GAST Tomato, which I changed to Weeks Merlot.  Stitched one over one. That white is gonna go slow, but the rest is done. 

Let's rewind...

Crappy photos today.  Sorry.
Gonna change the GAST Tomato, to Weeks Merlot.  All the reds are the same.  It's maybe not a baltimore color, but it is a red.  As I said before, my GAST Tomato is really orange, which might be lovely, but not for the flag. 

Started Teresa Kogut - Newcastle Bouquet.
On a 28 count Colour and Cotton - Stratus.   Stratus is a light to medium gray.  I wanted something that those ecru flowers, actually dmc 739, would not get lost on.  I am doing the outside border in dmc, and will do the inside birds with the fancy floss. 

Let's go back to this one -
I actually read things before I stitch them, but reading this again, I am gonna call it - the elephant in the room.  That IS the pattern.  Sure a stitch here or there different, but that is the words.
But it makes no sense.
Needle  n.  Device for carrying thread to making stitches.
What? 
Maybe... Device for carrying thread to MAKE stitches...
OR - Device TO CARRY thread for making stitches. ? 
I tried looking it up in a dictionary.  They used a lot more words. 
So I am gonna pull out part of this and change it.  I think to try to keep is fairly centered, I am gonna pull out the first part of the second line - 14 letters, rather than rather than the end 11 letters, which probably would be quicker.  Then I will add back - 'thread to make' .  It never started out centered, it's not gonna be centered when I am done either.  I know at some point, I thought, I can't keep being fussy.  Some things I need to just let it go, and stitch the pattern.  Then I get this in my path, and I kinda hate the crap grammer lesson.  So I will fix it.  Only took me three days to stitch the whole thing, can't be that long to fix it.

Little By Little Design Co - Needle Pillow
Finish #21 for 2020.
PTP Alchemy lugana 28 count, one over one, dmc 413.

Started the next one - Little by Little Design Co - Sampler Pillow.
It will say - Sampler - Example of skill in decorative needlework.
There is a third pattern called Linen - Cloth made of flax.

I am doing these all with the same fabric and floss.  It's a good combination of fabric and floss.
They actually suggest the dmc 938 - which is the floss I used to do that big quaker, Forget Me Not sampler from Modern Folk Embroidery just a couple blog posts back.  Which would be nice - but I just stitched with that, this is more gray on gray.  The second one is taking me longer - I am being fussy and the letters were not the same as the "Needle" one, I am trying to make them match better. 
Also have the Cherrywood Design patterns for - Stitch, Needle, Scissors, Chart, Linen, Aida, Floss, Pincushion.  The spacing is so I can have a 2 inch border between and cut them apart. 

My stay at home order showed up.  I like the Seeking Refuge text, and thinking I just wanna do the text and bottom border maybe repeated above?  Skipping the house and trees.  It is just too on point for my headspace at the moment.  The missing bird I needed.  The Kogut is my try a pattern from a designer. I like a few of that Baltimore series.  Then I tried to get floss for lots of things, but I have a list what they were ordered for.

Since at the time I was clueless about size, I ordered more Manor Red floss.  But once I had it started, 2 should be enough, so the alphabet got started.  But I put the older darker version next to what arrived today, and took a photo just for fun. 

Last night I wanted to start Baltimore Saltbox.  It uses a few strands of Endive, and I had it out doing those BBD birds, and just needed the vines and three of the darker trees.  Stitching it on a scrap of Cameo jobelan 28 count, one over one, fancy floss.  Should be 3.25 x 5.5 inches.  Looked for the mushroom fabric in my stash.  After getting to this point, found the mushroom fabric in my stash.  But I liked it on this with the floss toss.  The reds are all GAST Tomato - mine is really orange, and the flag orange is not gonna happen. 
I am not doing Maynia, but I am all over the map.
