Mid-year stitching report
Phew, work is busy! I don't think I've ever got to the third of a month and not posted a monthly report. Still, when we eventually get paid we might be able to afford a little holiday. It's been 5 years since the last one...
It's the middle of the year so time to see how things are going.
Finished

Total WIPs: 31
Total of unstitched charts in stash: 141
Hmmm... Although I've finished quite a few things I've also started an exchange or two and I don't think I counted the two quilts in my WIP list last month, so the WIP number stays the same. And I found a bunch of small charts in the cupboard that weren't on my stash list, so the number of charts has actually gone up. Eeek!
I'll leave you with photos. This is the second exchange I've stitched for the Make a Wish board. Kate wished for a bourse in knotwork and said some of her favourite colours were green and purple. So this is what I did. The design is a freebie from Ink Circles (slightly adapted as I thought it was nice as it was) and the fabric is 32ct Eucalyptus from Countrystitch. It came out a bit small, so I hope Kate wasn't disappointed!

If she's disappointed, she can send it to me! That's AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteFive years since your last hols? That's insane! Come to Gouda. I'll vaccuum a patch of doghair off the couch and we'll stitch together. ;)
I was thinking of emailing you if you hadn't posted by the end of the week - you've been so quiet!
ReplyDeleteHope you manage to get a holiday this year.
lovely bourse the colours are perfect
ReplyDeleteOh, wonderful job on the bourse! It is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe bourse is just beautiful - great color choices!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the bourse. I like the colors that you used. I finished my square on your LHN RR and mailed it off to Joan. You can see a picture of it on my blog.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bourse! And that's quite an impressive list of finishes for the first part of the year!
ReplyDeleteYour partner won't be disapointed, I admit!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazingly beautiful!
I love it, clours are so beautiful as well as your finising!!
