Zigzag

Dorothy is zigzagging right along, as you can see. The flamestitched band is time-consuming (each straight stitch is one thread wide and four threads long), but it's a nice little break from the eyelets. So much fun, and a great way to pass the day out of the heat.


Heeeeeere's Elvis! (On the outside, looking in, while I cleaned the rabbits' tile floor. Note the chewed woodwork, by those who who have been inside, looking out.)

Happy rest of the week!

Dorothy is looking so pretty! I love the colours and the zigzag effect is wonderful.

I didn't manage to comment on your previous post, but I do hope that your job situation works out OK. My work is a bit precarious at the minute too and it's a scary, unsettling time.

Where the bun is not is always a more interesting spot, unless treats are involved. Hmmm..the zigzags of Dorothy parallel the stock market or the flames of Arizona.

Elivis is too cute - worth a little chewing for sure!

Glenna, your work on Dorothy is beautiful. That is one colorful piece isn't it? It's just beautiful. And Elvis, what a handsome bunny!! Hugs and have a great week.

Beautiful! (The zigzag on Dorothy) (not the chewed woodwork) (although that, too, has its charm)

Your Dorothy is beautiful... I can't wait to start my own Dorothy.
Elvis is adorable. My windowsills look like your door frame... what we put up with when it comes to our four footed kids.
