Tusal Ort report and what I have been stitching February 2015

Here is my Orts jar for the February New Moon it's rapidly filling up with threads which is a nice thing to see and I am so glad I joined TUSAL(Totally Useless Stitch Along) again this year.
Feb 18 2015

Here is where some of those threads came from
Greenman #1
The stitching on my first Greenman hand embroidery piece is completed and I am happy with the results.
Some of the Herringbone variation stitches from this months Joyful Embellishments group I like this stitch and had fun changing the size
The pistil stitch above the herringbone needs more practice but my knots are beginning to form nicely.
I made some of the blocks for the quilt class I am taking, class didn't meet on the 13th and won't meet on 20th so I am working on the log cabin blocks from the class I missed on the 6th.

I have a big pile of fabric orts too this month. I had some trouble controlling the rotary cutter and I made a few to get a straight edge. Ugh!
Here is Greenman #2 just off my light box I think I am going to crayon tint before I begin to stitch.
Greenman #2
These Celtic Knot pieces are on the bottom and top corner of the greenman #2 piece which I have on
a eighteen inch piece of fabric whether it will stay in one piece when I am done is anyones guess.
Currently on the light box are a few Goddess pieces I have been planning to put together for some the small Goddess with the spirals is traced and waiting to be stitched after I cut it off the fabric.
I like the simple lines for hand embroidery.

One last look at my Orts jar which may need to be replaced soon with all the stitching I have planned, uncertain what an Orts jar is and curiuos to what TUSAL stands for check out the information here at daffycats blog http://itsdaffycat.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-totally-useless-stitch-long-2015.html
and join the fun it it may just be the thing you need to get you stitching again.
