Nearly there - Stitch a long

Almost finished by stitch a long only three side of the final border left to put on.

It took me most of last weekend to get these together and put on put so good to see it coming together.

.

I managed to squeeze in time to finish off this small wallhanging for my Mum, it was supposed to be for Mothers Day whoops only a little late. I wont get anytime to sew this weekend. Oh well it will still be there next weekend and it is a long one. Yippee.

 Well here is today's progress. I managed to get up to border number 5 (there are 8). So far so good. I am very slow and have made a few mistakes that I hope nobody will notice too much. I will have to wait until next weekend to keep going but I cant wait. Bring on Friday!! Have a good week. Happy Stitching.xox

 So I started today by cutting out the stitcheries I have been completing over the last 18 weeks for the Faithful Friend Stitch-a-long.

 Next I added the first & second borders to the main centre stitchery.

Now I cant wait to add some more tomorrow. I spent most of today cutting out the 600 pieces that make up the remaining borders. Oh boy I hope it goes together. I have really enjoyed this stitch-a-long and really hope to start another one soon. Whoops better finish this one first

This is the Homespun magazine Stitch-a-long - A Faithful Friend. I loved it when I saw it in the magazine & thought with each stitchery coming out weekly I should be able to keep up. I only have a small amount of stitching to finish and I will be able to start putting it all together. Arrghhh scary. Thanks to all for the encouragement. Keep Stitching xox

This is also from H & P - Home for Summer cushion and was my second project for the year. Just after finishing this one I returned to full time work and dont have anywhere near enough stitching time on my hands anymore.

This is the first project I attempted on my own. I finished it in January this year. After a very difficult few months it was very satisfying to complete something.I love it & keep all my stitching in it. It is Petunia's Garden Bag from Hatched & Patched. My very dear friend Ann took me to H & P and started my journey or shall we say obsession.

Well I think I have done it. Created my first ever blog. Now I just need to get stitching.
