Pansy Progress
14 April 2006
I have chosen my Stitch-A-Thon piece for April.
Since I have not been very good about working on it for nearly a month, this weekend “Stiefmütterchen” is going to get some attention. (Actually I am cheating a little bit because I went ahead and started the Stitch-A-Thon today so that I can count the work I did today as part of my Stitch-A-Thon progress. Hee hee)
As of today this piece is now officially half-way done because since I last posted a picture I have completed two more pansies. The white one was completed last time I worked on it (March 24) and the maroon one was completed today.
I really didn’t like stitching the white pansy and I think that is why I have avoided this piece for a few weeks. First off, my fabric is a “natural” color so the white wasn’t completely impossible, but it was hard on the eyes. However, the main reason I didn’t like stitching the white pansy is because, quite frankly, I find it the ugliest one that I have stitched so far. (And that is saying something because I thought the yellow one was sort of ugly too!)
Today’s maroon pansy made up for the ugly white one though. I really like this one: Not as much as the bluish-purple ones, but the maroon one is still a good-looking little flower.
Anyway, my Stitch-A-Thon goal is to complete two pansies and since I have already done one I guess I only have one more to go. I am not sure if I will do #9 or #12 next. #9 is yellow and maroon and unfortunately kind of ugly, so I imagine I will probably opt for #12 since it is a pretty peach one. However, you just never know. Check in on Sunday evening or Monday morning to see for sure. 
And for those of you celebrating it this weekend, Happy Easter!
