Honestly, I'd been stitching on this Dropcloth Sampler @dropcloth sampler on and off for months. And you know how I always say, "This was fun to stitch?" Yeah, this one not so much. I don't know why! I began with those little blue flowers, did a few, and then let it sit. And I did that several times over the months of stitching. Nothing against this one; I guess that's just the way it is sometimes.
The details seemed finer than usual, so I used Aurifil 12wt double-thickness, instead of perle cotton. I do very much enjoy stitching with that. So that wasn't the problem.
I finally just forced myself to finish it (watching the AL West division championship games didn't hurt!) and I'm so glad I did. The original intent for this wreath by Rebecca Ringquist of Dropcloth, was to use two hoops to make a frame for another embroidery project in the center. I may do that, or I may not. I have another idea that would involve a bit more stitching on it, so we'll see. Another day.
