I'd forgotten Friday was FNwF until i came across a post in my Facebook feed. :) Luckily i had a project ready to work on. lol.
I do wish people would double check their patterns. On the back is says a cut 13" square. No matter whether i'm embroidering or doing applique i usually cut my backgrounds an inch larger. I proceeded to iron on the pattern & then i happened to glance at the instructions & it says cut a 15" square. I was quite annoyed. I know someone will say "read instructions first" & i usually do but as it seemed to me to be a simple case of embroidery i didn't feel the need until it was ready for the finishing stage.
I should be able to make it work to look like the pattern but if not i will turn it into a hanging rather than a mat.
and after 2 nights of stitching i'm up to here

That's a shame but I'm sure you'll make it work.
Lots of lovely stitching done.
It's frustrating when that happens.
So annoying but hope you can make it work.
I hope you can make it work anyway. So many hours spend on this I really hope it doesn't go to waste. ;^)
Yikes! That is unfortunate that the instructions weren't consistent. However, you made some nice progress on the embroidery.
