A Little Stitchin' and a Little Tudor

 Gentle Friends, I've made a good start on the 9th Part of "For the Birds". This last piece is called "The Last Ripe Berries."  Here's a snaperoo...

... sorry about how wonky it is but as per usual I took the snap with the piece still trapped in the old Q-snap.

Over the weekend I got us tickets to see the exhibition at the Legion of Honor called " The Tudors: Art and majesty in Renaissance England."  

"Elizabeth I' by Nicholas Hilliard 1592

This painting is on loan from Hardwick Hall... It's an enormous painting and just gorgeous... notice the elaborate kirtle or underskirt a gift from Elizabeth Shrewsbury, or as she is better known as Bess of Harwick, the richest woman in England after Queen Elizabeth I.  The exhibition is here until the 24th of this month so if you're near San Francisco I would highly recommend getting over to the Legion of Honor for a view.  You do need tickets but they can be gotten on the Internet.

 Gentle Friends, here is an overall shot with the 8th Part all stitched up... the only change I made to this square was on the front door.  It is charted for an initial, which I didn't like so I put in a little window to match the fenestration of the house...

I took off yesterday for a long weekend and got in some good stitchin' time... now on to the 9th Part "The Last Ripe Berries"... another big bird dominates the square...  looking very much like a pigeon... or as I like to call them our "City Chickens."

 Gentle Friends, the 8th Part is coming along nicely... here's a snaperoo...

... I've gotten the garden stitched in with the orange tree on the left and the rose bush on the right with roses along the bottom... once I get the house in the middle stitched then it's on to the 9th Part.  I went back and re-stitched the bottom of the vine with a curly end (I really didn't like the way the vine ended before) and have done the same on the end of the right vine - I like this "end" resolution far better!!

 Gentle friends, my needle was flying this week and the 7th part got completed.. here's a snaperoo...

... sorry about the wrinkles, but I just popped it out of the ole Q-snap.  I really liked the stitching of this part, maybe it's the parrot... I dunno, but it was a joy to stitch, and came together so quickly.  Part 8 has another large house and some trees so that will be a fun stitch.

 Gentle Friends, I finished up the 6th part, and here's a snaperoo...

... with the piece at the 2/3rds spot, I thought I should start thinking about my next project,  So, I dug around and found a fun Hallowe'en sampler that'll work up nicely for the Fall!!  It's been a really lovely summer here by the Bay.  Upper 50's low 60's most of the time, lots of fog rolling down from Twin Peaks, and breezes blowing during the day... We've had our sunny days also, but they don't last...  thank goodness... for me, dank and foggy days are the bestest!!

 Gentle Friends, stitching away on Block 6... here's a snaperoo..

... it's a little wonky from me being too lazy to pop it out of the Q-snap.

 Gentle Friends, so I've finished up the center square, and here's a snaperoo...

... the changes made to this part are to leave off the date and initial from the bottom as I've already stitched in the year and a letter "E".  Now on to the sixth part...
