Works in Progress

Yesterday I added some borders to the Home Sweet Home stitchery so now I just need to quilt it and sew on the house button.



Some of the little squares look a bit wonky but I guess that gives it character!



I've also finished stitching the second block of Truly Scrumptious.



Cheating a bit ... leaving out some of the satin stitch!



Hope everyone gets time for some stitching this weekend.

    Your home sweet home stitchery is so cute with those wonky squares. I have this one some place in my boxes, maybe I find it and start on it. Browsing through blogs makes me remember a lot of things that are "hidden" in my sewingroom LOL

    I just love both of your stitcheries! The fabrics that you have chosen to go with them are fabulous as well. I actually did find some time to do some stitching last night. It is so relaxing when sitting watching a show with the family.

    Hi Christine,
    Your Home Sweet Home piece is just charming! I really like the red patch border. I just finished embroidering a piece and am still thinking about how to finish it -- your project gives me inspiration.

    This is a huge quilt! BLog Nemo has done it and hers is enormous.

    YAY you have finished the Lynette stitchery - well done! I will get a picture of us both at the Gathering next weekend with our stitcheries and we can send a picture to Lynette.

    Can you send me a reminder on Friday?
