Banded by Bargello finished

Crikey, it’s taken me 9 months for my stitching bug to resurface again! I’m learning not to beat myself up about it, and to just let my brain dictate what to work on and when. Most of the year has been spent cardmaking again, but I’m glad to have found the occasional spark of interest for my needlework once more.

This week I put the final stitches into Banded by Bargello, which was originally a mystery class project by Kathy Rees through the Shining Needle Society. It started just before Covid hit in 2020. I was making great progress until Mum’s hospitalisation and my stitching bug went AWOL. It feels so good to finally have a stitching finish, especially one as mammoth as this one!
