Having a change.

The last couple of days i've been doing some cross stitch. I bought this little kit quite a while back, made a start & then abandoned it.

I've managed quite a bit in just a few days considering the Aida is a very small weave. Not sure if the count. 

Happy Stitching,

Round We Go bom

Earlier this week i finally got to prepping the last 4 blocks of my bom

Last night i finished sewing them together

All that is left is to applique these 4 to the backgrounds, trim them back & then sew all the blocks into a top.

Happy Stitching,

FNSI July

Yesterday i joined in FNSI hosted by the lovely Wendy.  In the morning i trimmed the stitcheries from Send My Love bom by Gail Pan ready to sew onto their backgrounds.

 After that i spent several hours with my son trying to get an issue with the desktop sorted. And wouldn't you know it despite spending money buying a new Windows program it still isn't fixed. Grrr. Hopefully today it will get sorted.

Then last night i appliqued the stitcheries to the backgrounds

and July blocks are done.

Pop over to Wendy's blog to see the links to find what projects everyone who joined in worked on

Happy Stitching,

Ruth's Dream stitcheries.....

......are done. I finished the last stitch in the label last night. :)

All trimmed up ready to go. Now i just need to cut out the fabrics that go with them & turn it all into a top at least. :)

I was playing thread chicken & sadly i lost. On the last letter from Miss "C's" name banner & all i needed was a little bit more thread to finish. Oh well a trip to the local patchwork shop is in order then. :)
