And for Slow Stitching Sunday with Kathy at Kathy Quilts, I plan to continue my work on A Rainbow Garden!  I got all the flowers stitched on and the next step is the little white buds.  I’m not really sure how I’m going to stitch them so I’m not sure if it will be quick or take a bit of time.  But these buds are the last step so once those are done I can pull out Block 7!

Here’s how it looked last weekend:

I put french knots in all the white buds to keep them in their place but I also want to do a small stitch in cream around all those buds to keep them down.  I think I’ll take really tiny stitches but not as close together as the other stitches.  I don’t want the stitches to take away from the buds but I do want them to be completely stitched down.
