foxy progress

This weekend I picked up my foxy embroidery again. I was sitting on the front porch with some friends and felt I wanted a relaxing thing to do with my hands. I actually have not worked on this in quite a while, but it has been on a side table in my bedroom waiting patiently. I think I haven't wanted to approach working on filling in that fox. Ugh. But I didn't have a knitting project started, and the hand quilting project was just way too big to bring down so I grabbed this project bag and ended up enjoying the return. 


I continued this evening while watching some Missouri Star YouTube. They had Anna Maria Parry on, my favorite fabric designer, so a must-see for me. I enjoyed the projects I saw and her way of teaching and on-camera personality did not disappoint. I puttered around doing some of the finishing on the flowers - even some French knots! I have now gotten to the point where my only things left are the brown accents on the flowers, which use colors that also accent and appear in the fox, and a cloud of lime green French knots at the top. I'm not sure which I will do first, the fox or the knots, but it's a toss up which one I will grit my teeth through more. 


I think I'll stick with the floral finishing touches for now!
