The owl is cut out and appliqued on the block and I'm well on my way with the Art Nouveau detailing.. I'm still working on a hoop so will leave bead work and ribbon pine cones until the very last... With any luck I should be able to finish this block tomorrow... Monday at the latest... I'm loving these colors and decided that I'll use earthy greens for the DYB RR coming up.
Things are going better now as Wednesday was a very bad day. I started the day with no Internet access, spilt a large mug of coffee all over my desk, then the tractor wouldn't start and it went downhill from there ending with a lamb tangling with a porcupine and getting a face full of quills..
But the next day my dear tractor man came and got it running, Wil showed up and helped me catch and load the sheep I was selling and now I can get my alfalfa into the barn... Definitely looking up.. having grand time with GD and visit is flying by.

Gerry, again you have amazed me. Your owl is gorgeous! Your stitching is beautiful and so pretty. My long and short never looks as good as yours.
The owl is looking great Gerry. I do my best to copy your method, and I'm gradually improving....but it takes me so long. Please send me some of your energy. Honestly, if you could bottle it, you'd make a fortune. lol
I love it!
The owl turned out beautiful! I love how that block is turning out. I'm sorry you had one of "those" days where things just didn't go right, but am glad the next day turned it around.
Looking forward to seeing how the jacket turns out in earthy greens as well as the next RR.
I love it!
