Tuesday evening I finished
Love is Enough. This one seemed to take forever.
Although I liked the way it turned out, I didn't really enjoy working on this one. It was a very finicky, fidgety piece, with a lot of teeny tiny back stitching with constant change in direction.
Rather tough on the old eyeballs!

Now I have to find the right frame for it.
After this, I decided to work on a quick little one. I have had
Bountiful Blueberries from Sweetheart Tree, in my stash for ages. This one is only 43 X 34 stitches, and works up very quickly.

The first evening I finished up most of the cross stitching. Then last night I finished up the rest of the cross stitching and did all the back stitching for the tendrils. By the way, I think the designer has probably never seen blueberries growing in nature. There are no tendrils or vine. They grow on a bush! That said, I like the design.
This is what I have so far:

Tonight I will do the outlining on the berries, and attach the beads and the little charm in the center.
I totally missed the March edition of the
Totally Useless Stitch Along. Here is the March-April edition. Atleast there are a few more colors in there. Before it was totally pink from my quilt.
