His eye is on the Sparrow...

My work continues on

'His eye is on the Sparrow' cross stitch

by Beth Twist...

As I cross stitch a few rows, I will

use a highlighter and color in the rows 

I have completed.  This helps me to quickly find 
my place when counting.

But, for the Fawn in this design,

I am using a little reverse thinking to make

it easier.  I have highlighted all of the fawn's spots,

(and eye area), BEFORE stitching, 
so that they are easier to see.  

I then stitched the 'spots'.  

After the 'spots' were in place,

I only had to fill in the Fawn...

no counting at all.

This larger motif turned out to be

quick and easy using this simple technique.

I have been stitching on this design 

about 2 hours in the evening...

one motif at a time.

When I started this project, I thought I would
stitch 30 minutes on most days.
I keep it at my 'stitching chair', 
and it has been so relaxing to work on. 
A great way to end the day.

Spring is clearly on it's way...
Enjoy the fresh air and warmer temperatures !
(I even had a window or two open this afternoon!)
