May stitching report
We got some longer leads so here are the first of the pictures! It turned out not a bad stitching month in spite of the furniture chaos. I finished my section on Anne's Quaker Friendship RR (sorry for the wrinkles - the iron still has a NZ plug, we need to buy some more UK ones):
And I stitched M Designs' Peace Tree for the Christmas ornament SAL (Gloriana Cranberry thread on 28ct Haystack linen):
I also made progress on a few other WIPs, helped by the fact that I seem to have acquired a stitching room! What used to be the tiny study is too tiny for a proper office now we're working from home, so all the bits of furniture have ended up in it. And so has my stash. Perfect for sitting quietly stitching. (Sue - look at the colour of the walls - just begging for the Rose and Butterfly Quilt to be displayed don't you think?!) I just need to get some finished pieces framed and displayed to go with my redwork collection!
So, to round up:
Finished
Quaker Friendship RR round 3
Spring Snapperland (except for buttons)
Finished stitching but not made up
Peace Tree
Started
Blackstone Fantasy Garden
Made progress on
CHS alphabet
Evening in the Park
Quaker Stocking
Toccata II
Tomboy

I love your stitching space--lucky you, I'd kill for a designated crafty room :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of Anne's RR, before I started reading and the picture popped up I thought 'that's not a Nicki color' and now I know why.
Your ornament SAL piece looks great to! I am behind a couple of months on mine. I'm off to the copy shop today though to get a couple of charts ready.
Glad you're getting settled!
That's a neat space that you have created. Your WIPs are looking good. Hope you are starting to get a bit more settled and straight with things now you are back home. :)
