My Work In Progress Wednesday is devoted to jam making. The lavender jam is spreading on
Crazy for Crazy
as I have embellished several seams with fancy stitches from TAST and Sunday Stitch School.
Much more jam will be needed so watch this space.

A very good start. Looking forward to seeing more jam!
Nice stitching and embellishing Queenie.
I'll continue watching for more development!
Very pretty! These colors blend together so well.
I will need some darker and lighter tones, and then buttons and such.
I always try to put in the beading and buttons last as the thread often catch on them. Those kinds of embellishment will be another kind of development.
I need more variety in the lavender, it is still a bit bland.
Gorgeous stitches, Queenie! Do you work out what stitches you will use on paper first? Hope I haven’t asked this before, I’ve certainly pondered about it before!
Hugs,

Nice cool looking work for the hot weather we are having!
It is looking very pretty.
No, I don't plan the stitches on paper, I select three focal points (usually buttons, notions or some other ornament), after that I pick a seam or pice to embellish making sure there will be room for the button later on. Once I have decided which seam to work I will pick a stitch or stitch combination from my TAST or SSS Reference Charts.
You're right, so far I have used rather icy tints, I need to add darker shades and deeper tones.
Thank you. Now for some more movement.
The lavender is not bland at all. I had been thinking how lovely it looked against the background. All the seams are beautiful.
Thank you. There is more to 'pile on' so it will change further.
