Some Progress on Rainforest

Hey Blog Buddies,

I've been working on Rainforest Revisited by Needle Delights Originals this week, and despite having to frog out nearly half of one square, I have a total of four squares finished:

I am really enjoying stitching this project

(just like I enjoyed Rainforest Crunch last year).

There are some silk threads involved this time,

which means having to lay them.

I don't have a laying tool--oh, the horror!

I just use my fingers.

And the silk tends to stick to my fingers,

especially since they're so dry from the

low humidity in our house.

But it's all good.

The beige (as well as the brown outlining)

in this square are silk.

I would not have put the gold pearl cotton

with the pinkish Watercolour thread,

but I think it works.

This is my favorite block so far,

not only because it doesn't call for any silks,

but in real life the thread colors seem to just glow.

I'm sticking to my rotation,

which means I'm setting this project aside for now.

I've already started a small project this evening.

Hopefully, I'll have a finish to show you before

the end of the week.

Hope you got some stitching in this weekend.

Thanks for visiting!
