Virtual Class & Not Much After

This morning, I was up and working on my embroidery for the class. I was early today. Our class started at 10 am. It wasn't much of doing anything, but a class of what was to come. There wasn't anyone in the class that finished working on the flower petals. We all commented that we would have been closer to being done if we had another week to work on it. Then we went our Loretta's patterns to see what she could offer in the future. Once we finished, my brain was saying, "Seems easy enough." But my other brain was saying, "So, when are you going to get it done and remember what you learned today?" Good question. 

 I have the right petal done with the double, and the other 2 need to be doubled. I started on the next petal that goes over this one. I will do the first part and go back and finish the second part. What I did learn, was that the buds have to be added first. So, I need to work on those as well. In otherwards, I need to finish all these before even thinking of working on the full piece. 

I called it done and played on my war game. Then after supper I got a few more stitches in. I will keep this handy to work on. 

Now I want to show you the teddy bear I was excited to get but was let down big time! It's been a long time since I have done a round robin, but I don't think I will do it again. 

I do think this is cute for the tail. But really, couldn't more be done? 

The arms - are on the left, and the body of the bear is fading. I needed to do it in pencil so they could see it. Once did the heart and one did the ribbon. AND THAT WAS IT! One gal gave up the ghost so to speak. She didn't do anything. Then I think of all that work I did for them and I can't understand what's so hard to figure out? Put boots on the feet, make the face, put flowers in the ears, just something! Oh, well. It's not the first time I was "screwed" when it comes to handwork. I go out of my way because I believe in making something nice for the person I am doing it for. I won't give them crap. I just can't. 

Which reminds me of the quilt. I need to get the backing and batting together. Plus, I need to add the borders to another quilt. I should find time this weekend to get them done. I really do need to finish those up and out to the quilters. 

May day was fun, I enjoyed being with the virtual class. I do miss not seeing everyone in person though. At least I find myself Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
