Last Week's Progress (April 20-26)

I finished the breast cancer piece and bought a frame for it. I just need to press it and frame it. I made a mistake in the border. I forgot to leave the open squares around the inner edges. It would have looked better, but I'm definitely not going to rip all of that out! It looks fine the way it is.

On Tuesday I started "Perception" by Elizabeth Almond. When I first started doing all of that back-stitching, I was thinking, "What have I gotten myself into!?" I wasn't enjoying it at first, but once I got going, I started enjoying it more.

Perception is the first "blackwork" piece that I've ever done. I was very tempted  to do a very large blackwork SAL called "Save the Stitches" by Elizabeth Almond, but I figured I'd better do a smaller one first before I jump into a giant one! So many people have done very beautiful renditions, but April's "Save the Stitches" is my favorite!
