Happy Monday! Let’s start the week with a splash of color, shall we?

I’m still plugging away on the Secret Garden Embroidery Project. Now, it’s just the long haul with the feathers left, and some little accents here and there.

Gosh, it doesn’t seem like much has progressed on the embroidery since the last time we visited the hummingbirds, does it?

But every little bit of stitching counts, right? I finished the breast, the wing, and the tail cap, and one full feather.

Don’t forget to click on the photos for a larger version! They look better, bigger, for some reason.

And here’s a photo where you can actually see the frame and my frame clamp, to put the project in perspective size wise and to step back from it a bit, so you can see it all in context.

Ever forward! I’d love to stitch a couple feathers or more per day, but it isn’t likely. Still, I’ll squeeze it in when I can, and hopefully, this piece will be finished and framed before you can say, “February’s Finally Fled!”

If you’d like to follow progress on the hummingbirds, you can find all the articles relating to this embroidery project in the Secret Garden Project Index. The articles are arranged chronologically, from the beginning of the project until now, and they include information on where you can find the design.
