Well there has been a little bit of progress on one of my
100 day challenge projects.
I joined a new quilting group this week and despite engaging in lots of stitching (and not-so-stitching) related chat, I managed to cut out and piece 120 of the remaining 235 blocks needed for my Up, up and away quilt top. Next up, trimming those 120 blocks and piecing them together in rows. I am really not looking forward to all that trimming, I can tell you!
No progress on the other two 100 day challenge projects, but still some embroidery done.
I have been beavering away at this in my weekly embroidery class. It will, ultimately, be one side of a sewing box, the other sides include ribbon embroidery and beading so this will be the easiest I think. There are about one hundred French Knots to be added to this before the side will be completed, but as these are most definitely not my favourite stitch to sew I need to work up the courage to tackle them :)
I cannot claim any credit for the shading in the roof embroidery as it is a result of using the most beautiful hand-dyed threads from
21st Century Yarns, who are the equivalent of a tempting box of chocolates for stitchers!
Speaking of tempting, this lovely craft book is the giveaway up for grabs for one lucky linker to this month's
