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!!)

After Mass Yesterday we headed over to the Presidio for lunch with friends...  

to Sessions at the Presidio...

...we all got the same thing...

"Marin Farm Scrambled Eggs" 

When it landed on the table I thought they had brought me a salad, but under the microgreens were some delicious eggs, and the cheddar biscuits were delicious!!  That little cup of gravy is to pour over the biscuits, interesting, but a bit messy.

Since we were so very close, just a couple of blocks away, we walked down to the last remnant of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exhibition...

The Palace of Fine Arts

We walked around in the sunshine with lots of brides, and Quinceanera celebrants getting their pictures taken... also tons of tourists and just locals walking their dogs.  It's a lovely park and worth a visit.  It is actually the first time in all the years living here that I've actually been down here to just walk around.
