The morning of Day 2 of Walk in the Woods with Deborah Mitek was spent practicing ribbon leaves. I will practice more – probably with the River Silk ribbons and save the ones in the kit for the piece.

In the afternoon, I worked on the border. There was a party going on last night into the wee hours that kept me up and we are on the 27th floor! It’s New Orleans so nothing you can do. So, I was fading and the border was easiest. It really it first to be stitched anyway.

Eight of us from ANG Main Line Stitchers and Bill and Jean had a lovely group dinner right across the street at The Creole House. We had to dodge a parade to get back for EXPO!

The local ANG Streetcar chapter had a table with a partially stitched Dorothy Lesher piece. I may have to rip out what’s there because no threads are included. I’ve wanted to try one of Dorothy’s designs and this suits me. The little ornament rounded off the purchase nicely.

It looked like a good turn out for Expo!

There is music again outside our 27th floor. Not as bad at 8 pm as last night. Did I mention that I am not a huge fan of New Orleans? HOT and noisy.
