Attaching the Pod
Tricia writes:
During the week Wendy and I worked on getting all the detached pieces traced and labeled for stitching. We had done a few weeks ago and Jill and a few other stitchers had been working on the detached pod layer for the pea pods. It is worked in Grene gilt sylke twist.
Since we had done the little peas – we HAD to add the detached layer on top! Here you see the layer that Jill worked after being liberated from the linen it had been prepared on. A few tacking stitches along the length and along the top using the ends of the thread that was still attached was all it took to secure the piece. 
Now we have peek-a-boo pea pods! There were squeals of delight from everywhere. So
cute!

Well of course you did, who could have resisted stitching the detached layer on immediately, certainly not me
It looks wonderful, especially with those gold peas.
