Yesterday,
my husband and I watched The Greatest Game Ever Played. As we watched I finished up the third ribbon
which was really quite tedious. As you
can see from this picture, the finished product is lovely, but I am glad that
ribbon is behind me.
I also took the time stitch the plaited cross on the cross
stitches in the second ribbon. What can
I say but “Wow! What a difference that
tiny little thread makes.” Much like the
character of Eddie Lowery in the Greatest Game Ever Played, this piece just
wouldn’t be the same without the Accentuate.
Eddie Lowery was Francis Ouimet’s caddy in The Greatest Game Ever
Played, a young man of only 10 years old.
He was full of one liners that kept Francis’ mind on the game and not on
those who would see him fail, a cheerleader, so to speak. As you can see by the following pictures,
this tiny little thread has a great impact on this ribbon.

I’ve also started the fourth ribbon. My color combination for this ribbon is
blue/red orange/yellow orange. I’ve only
just begun, but I’m eager to see how
that plays out. More pictures to follow!
