Say It Ain't So!


 I am so sad that next season of Downton Abbey will be the last--waaahh....
At least we have Mr. Selfridge to entertain us for a while.

 All this week I have been seeing stripes in my sleep! 
There are a lot of these patriotic designs and I am working hard to make them all a bit different from each other, but I am running out of ideas! 
Coat of Arms
wool stripes

Flag and Stars
couched yarn stripes

Americana Housepearl cotton back-stitch stripes

House with Flag
cotton floss chain stitch stripes

Eagle wool floss chain stitch stripes

Flag Daycotton floss double stem stitch  stripes

Colonial Flag
cotton rick rack stripes

Uncle Sam's Hat
felt rick rack stripes

Yes, there are even more designs in need of stripes,
but I see light at the end of the tunnel!

 I'll be stitching on these during Mr. Selfridge tonight.

    We are all going to go into withdrawal with the end of DA!
    Your blocks are coming along lovely. I especially like the eagle block!

    You've added great variety with all those stripes. Each block is a cute little picture all on its own.

    What a great job! They all have their uniqueness but fit together well as a whole. Really cute!

    I hope to see all of Downton Abbey one of these days. We watch something else on Sunday evening and I never really got into the habit of watching it though I have watched some of it.
    Have you counted how many of the wool hexagons you have made? Has to be a bunch.
