Another busy week behind me; camera is still not functional, so these shots are from my phone.
My cast on stitch -

Today was absolutely lovely, about 68 degrees this morning which was a welcome change. Nice breeze & low(er) humidity. It got warmer but not so much that we couldn't turn off the a/c and open windows. Today I had my family over for lunch: my brothers, sister in law, and two cousins - sisters who are 78 and 86. We had a great lunch, and a wonderful visit looking at old photos, in a lot of instances nobody could remember who the person was. My kids loved it. Getting old photos organized is the hardest thing.
I have done a lot of stitching this week, enhancing the blocks I have "finished" (are they really ever?) with embellishments, and filling in some blank spaces. When I'm satisfied, I'll post a photo of all the blocks together - again. ;-)
Still mulling over that final, center block.

Your cast on seam treatment looks like a row of smiles! :D
That's an impressive length of cast on stitches there!
Nice row of cast on stitches, like a little fence for that row of flowers above it. I like the Algerian star flowers you made, very pretty.
Cast ons look great under your chevron band and I like the knots on the pale fabric - are they colonial ones?
Lovely cast on stitches Deborah, and that is lovely thread with a very subtle colour variegation. And I like Suz's thought that they look like a row of smiles, haha.
I love the variegated thread. I hardly use anything but the perle cotton any more. Carol: nope, just ordinary French knots. Amazing that my $100 phone takes better photos than the $400 camera (not my "good" camera, i.e., "the Precious" but the older camera, the "semi-precious.")
Really clear photos and, of course, your band isn't chevrons, sorry!
Very nice. I love how it all pulls together.
I love your Algerian stitch flower. The button looks vintage.
