I let myself get waaaayyy behind with the nine patches & kicked myself for doing so. I had 60 blocks to make so yesterday i got stuck into them.
3-1/2"
2"
2"
Saturday night i pulled out the Christmas bom to finish the satin stitch. Not much was left but i was distracted by making Lucy blocks. :) :)
I do use only one thread when stitching & 2 for french knots & satin stitch otherwise i would've needed 3 times the amount of skeins for the whole quilt.
Now to find a new project to stitch. :) :)
Happy Stitching

Plenty left!!! though it's always worrying tilyou get to the end... I recently had to raid my scrap thread bucket to finish a stitchery...fortunately I keep the leftovers and found 2 pieces about 6"each...lucky escape!
Well done on getting those tiny blocks done .
So good to have had enough thread for the Christmas stitchery.
Doesn’t take much to distract us….
Well done with all the nine patches Jeanette & your Christmas stitchery is looking very lovely. That snapdragon shade is wonderful. xx
Well done with the catch up! The blocks look great. It is always a worry when your thread us getting low!!
Great feeling to get all those blocks made I am sure and nice to finish all that lovely stitching and get a little bit of leftover thread. xx
All that stitching does use up the thread quickly..... so worth it though.... well done with the blocks catch up...
