November stitching report
My Mum's Christmas present is done. My first Tilda - made from a kit.
She was a little more fiddly than I expected and the instructions weren't so clear in places, but I'm pleased with how she's turned out.
I'll probably make her again in more Christmassy fabric for us to keep. Though I don't know if I'll have time this year.
I have the boy to make for my dad next.
Finished
Winter exchange for Isabelle
Christmas present for my mum
Started
Christmas present for my dad
Made progress on
St Reatham
Royal Holiday
CHS alphabet
Napoleon
Winghaven
Antique Flower Garden
Madeira pinwheel quilt
Total WIPs: 23
Total of unstitched charts in stash: 141
(My stash reduction isn't going so well! I haven't finished anything I can cross off my stash list for months and it's actually gone up by two - the new Loose Feathers and the Ackworth Friendship chart from With My Needle for a RR next year. Both are exceptions to my project challenge, so I haven't broken the rules, but it will be nice to start going down rather than up!)
