Pinwheels, Pinwheels, and More Pinwheels

Here are my first pinwheels.  Sorry the scan is rather bright.  The color is not quite so gold looking.  I am signed up to take the My Bee Keeper class at Elegant Stitch (online).  The class is in the beginning of September, but will be over a few weekends.  I thought I had better get going or I will never get these all stitched.  I have had to pick both of these out at different times, but I hope I am on track now and can just get into a stitching rhythm.  I think they will be enjoyable to stitch, once I really get going on them.  I have discovered that really good lighting is the key.  You can see how the light plays off the silk.  I think it is going to be really lovely once they are all stitched.  And there are lots of them.  I think there will be something like 93 of them all together.  I think on average it will take me about 15 minutes per pinwheel, unless I get really good at them.  So if I counted correctly, it is going to take me about 24 stitching hours to complete this!  Yikes.  If I stitch about 4-5 a day I think I can also finish them in time.  I guess I will have to squeeze them in when I can!  This is designed by Jackie du Plessis at It's Fine-ally Finished.
