Adam and Eve -- I really am finished this time!
I tell you this was probably one of the most troublesome things I have ever stitched. First I wasn't happy with the fabric and actually started on three different ones. Then I spent days messing around with the colors, involving much experimental stitching only to rip it all out and start again. And finally making mistake after mistake, including one huge one. leading to extensive frogging. You'd think I'd toss it in disgust. To the contrary, I've rather enjoyed working on it.
And so, with no further ado, let me present the final version of the Adam and Eve block from the Days of Advent Sampler.
I am sad to report the curse of the frogs has not been lifted. I'm working on Cirques des Cercles and while I haven't discovered an old counting error which negates everything I worked on the previous round, I am continually making counting errors requiring frogging out a thread or two. Not the brightest thing when working with variegated silks! I hope I don't run out and end up with dye-lot problems. You would think that all this trouble I've had lately would turn me off of stitching for a while. But no, I simply must beat those blasted frogs into submission!
