Kreinik Braid & Storage
When I took the Purple Hearts class, it used quite a bit of #8 Kreinik braid, so the instructor gave us a 50M cone! Now that Rainbow Gallery owns and manufactures the braid, it is on a card. Below is a photo of these three styles, which need to be stored somewhere!

Purple Hearts Continued from 2010
I last talked to you about this project on July 11, 2010.
I picked it back up on June 27 and have been working on it almost every night since.
It is on 24 count black congress cloth and has been a challenge in places, but I have tons of light working and magnification. I have only ripped out stitches a few times! I am now going back to section 8, which is black on black. UGH!
Here are some photos of my progress.

Happy Fourth of July
In the United States, we are celebrating 249 years of Independence on July 4. So, while I wish everyone everywhere a happy fourth, it means a bit more here.
I have a display of Red, White, and Blue I put out in May (for Memorial Day), June (for Flag Day) and July (for Independence Day). It is a mix of stitching and papercrafts, plus a table runner I received as a Christmas gift one year.

States Completed
I finished the last three states from the Statehood Splendor series from Thead Milk Designs. I posted about the other states here. Fairly self-explanatory what they are!

Some Framing
I decided to go with the frame I found on Amazon that said it had a 5"x5" opening. That sounded fine since the finished size was 4.5" x 4.5". I was surprised when it came with a double mat (glued to the first mat) that made the actual opening 4.5" x 4.5". Luck was on my side this time.
