A Border for Frederick
This is how it is charted with no fill around the diamonds and a bit different within them. I like it, just enough difference from Frederika and then again, just similar enough. I am leaning towards no fill around the diamonds.

Stitchin' Feathers
Gentle Friends, here's an updated snap of Frderika...
... a little more wrinkled than I would have liked but she's done and now I'm in the last third of the image for stitching.

We've had some hot days over the last week. Usually, we hover in the mid-60s all year, but in late September and October, we get our "Summer" weather. We hit the upper 80s here in the City and since we've got micro-climates because of the hills there were even some areas in the low 90s...which is a nice change up... but it was only for a few days and since we've not got any AC the fans are a god-send for sure!!

Stitchin' a "Chickin'"
Gentle Friends, Frederika, a fancy chickin' out in the woods, is now outlined, here's a snaperooo...
... as I've been stitching along I've changed my mind about how I'll stitch Frederick... I'm thinking about stitching them not as a single piece but leaving plenty of space between them so they can be framed independently and just hang them together. It is really due to the borders being similar but not truly matching. I still have to go back and do the single stitch in the centre fill on each diamond around Frederika's border, each is charted a different colour, but I'm leaning towards doing them all with single black stitches. The border for Frederick is heavily black so that will tie them together better... I've still got plenty of time to make that decision so I'll just keep stitchin' away and keep thinking about it until I need to pull the trigger on a decision.

Fraises des Bois
Gentle Friends, now moving on to the center section, and here's a snaperoo...
...usually, I work from left to right on projects...this time I'm stitching right to left...
mixing it up a bit. I like the idea that Frdericka is stomping around out in the forest so the "wild strawberries" title of the post sort of fits.

A Little More Border
Gentle Friends, almost there, here's a snaparoo of the border...
... I was really happy, nay, surprised when everything banged up and matched. For some reason, I had a feeling that it wouldn't match up, now there's only to finish up the fill NPI963 on top and NPI962 on the bottom of the diamonds.

Now, I'm looking at stitching ahead since it's "September Start" and I've seen so many lovely starts online that I may just start something else...even though I am very much a monogamous stitcher, I might just have to get something else going...I got a few new things in the mail and a sampler might just be calling my name...(clapping hands and digging in the stash heap!!)
