Medusa Sea Jelly Outline

The outline of my Medusa Sea Jelly is ready for my October weekends in NJ.

I was all set to use my stash for this 5″ round as Kim (the designer) suggested when I stopped in Nimble Needle in NJ. I liked the orange one Kim had done (see a previous blog showing 2 other lovely colorways). The only orange Watercolours in my stash was 208 Tangerine which has a very slight variation of color and probably would have been fine until I saw Watercolours 280 Calabasa hanging on a peg calling to me! It was perfect. My stash drawer always has room for one more skein! The rest of the threads are from my stash. It doesn’t take much thread.

I’m going up to join NJ Needle Artists for a finishing class with Kelly Starke (we’ll probably stitch one evening sitting around) and later in the month to NJ Needle Fest. Both adventures are with my usual roommate, Buff. Sue is hosting us for the weekend of the class, and the Marriott will be our resting place for NJ Needle Fest. I am not thrilled that the event is not at the hotel. It’s not as convenient, but I digress.

This will be the primary stitching project that I hope to finish. I find it best to prepare a piece for these stitching events so that I don’t miscount on the tough parts while talking.

Doesn’t it and the threads look wonderful in this lovely color coordinated blue Floral Project Bag “by Linda”. Maybe this is why I have multiple projects ongoing – so I can use these beautiful project bags!?!

You get extra points for coordination – the bags are great. I can’t wait to start mine either – a great project.

Thanks. Cute project. Got one area done in the afternoon (except for beads). It is easy stitching.
