For April’s New Jersey Needle Artists’ chapter meeting, Jacqui continued Tumbling Stripes by Marilyn Owen by going over Stripes A-E (bottom 5 rows).

I see now that the top 7 rows are mostly blue with a touch of yellow and the bottom are yellow with a touch of blue.

I decreased to 2 strands of floss again because I am working on 24 count Congress Cloth.

Since I am finishing this into an ornament, I won’t be doing the 3 outer borders framing it into a square. Instead, I backed out a few of the light yellow fill in stitches and evened out the corners to create an octagon that will be easier to finish.

Then, I tent stitched around the outer edge to make finishing easier and retain the full design.

I got my finishing done ready for Show and Tell at this month’s New Jersey Needle Artists Chapter meeting Wednesday night! I’m attending in person. In fact, I am posting from the meeting room.
