I always send pictures of my work-in-progress to my kid. I thought other people might like to see. It's a pattern from Serenity Stitchworks, based on A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jutta, by George Seurat.
This is after seven pages of the pattern. I am working on 8 now.

This is the first big project I did based off paintings. This one took a couple years as I was mainly quilting at the time.

Made a bit of progress. All these people are a pain. Just like I'm real life.

I can tell page 17 is going to be a real booger.
I'm second guessing getting the super detailed pattern.

My sister and I got this bouncy horse as a gift when I was about 1. My parents have kept it for over 50 years.
Earlier this year part of the framing broke and couldn't be fixed. Instead of letting him throw it away, I had an idea.
I can't explain how tickled I am with Frank being in my garden.

Had a visitor in my garden this morning!
I was concerned that there was a nest because the dog goes out in the backyard, but the little guy hopped through out chain link fence, so I'm guessing he came from outside.
Hopefully he had a nice snack.

Done with the first four features in this Extraordinary Birds stitch-a-long.
The wait between installments....
It reminds me of when Stephen King published The Last Mile in installments and we had to wait for the next issue! Suspense!

I decided I wasn't going to cut any more of my stash until I used up all my scraps. I may have bit off more than I can chew. I keep finding more!

Second feature in the Extraordinary Birds SAL done. The blue-footed booby was the bird that convinced me I had to do the project.
