Saturday
I took many pictures yesterday, and many more today. Lilia took many pictures today, including some amazing ones of finished motifs.
I uploaded them all to the laptop, using the wireless internet connection in Accomack. I TRIED to upload them to the blog program. Nothing. More nothing.
I decided to email the photos home, some of them, so I could blog when I got here. It didn’t send. Again. And again. (I had deleted them from the camera, so that wasn’t going to help. Not wise, an error in judgment I will not repeat.)
AHA! The laptop is PORTABLE. I will take it home and fuss with it there. I left a big note for Penny so when she comes in tomorrow morning she will not look for it in vain. I began to drive …. halfway home I realized I DO NOT HAVE WIRELESS INTERNET AT HOME.
I don’t know what I was thinking, except isn’t it a good thing I didn’t have to make any important decisions today.
Fortunately, Wendy left a little earlier than I did, and in between preparations to host a houseful of football fans (there’s a game on tonight, I believe…) she sent me these.
First up is Judy L, who has been embroidering with us since Tuesday. Here she’s working on the cuffs & collar piece, doing a full pink as well as bits of several other motifs.
Next is Abigail, joining us again from Dorchester, and working today on Blue. We’re spending some effort on blue this weekend, so we can figure out how much more blue we need, and if there’s any extra or we need to have more made.
Here’s a cornflower, one of the two primarily blue motifs (the other is borage). Gorgeous doesn’t seem to cover it.
Catherine from Washington, DC, did some amazing work today, including a complete honeysuckle motif. Before this session we’ve had only the pink/red trellis stitched buds done. Now that we have the yellow GST she could do the whole thing. Here it is nearly done. I saw it finished a little later. Catherine said that the yellow GST was beautiful, of course, but didn’t really come alive until she added the red. Then the whole motif just sang.
Thanks, Wendy, for saving the blog tonight.

If you would LIKE to have wireless internet at home, my husband can help you with that for not too much money (seriously, not much at all).
WHAT A GAME!
And beautiful embroidery, of course.

The blue, of course, is stunning. But I didn\’t expect the honeysuckle to be so beautiful - somehow, I thought it would be a bit drab compared to the other motifs. But it\’s gorgeous!
Keep up the great work!!

Very nice work!

Hooray! My cornflower from the upper right sleeve made the blog. Well, technically Carol did the outline for the flower’s petals and I did the fill, which was an excellent trade since I did the outline of the thistle on this sleeve and she did the fill. Hi Carol if you are out there.

Beautiful work here. I’ve really enjoyed reading this blog.
As far as your computer — if you have internet at home, couldn’t you unplug your home computer and plug in the laptop?
