Morning Ladies,

Some beautiful work :T, the laminated bookmark looks brilliant, I love the idea of the wrapping paper on the back, it looks so pretty!

Penelope Penguin, I'm going for some sort of flower fairy too, I think I can see legs and wings. This is a good game, I like guess the work in progress LOL.

Also, with regards to the alphabet quilt chart, I found a copy on my computer at home last night. I'd deleted it at work but i must have downloaded it on both machines. I see chicky has offered but if you do get stuck send me a PM and I'll email a copy to you.

Glad to hear your dad is ok shelly. Home for father's day, thats lovely xxx

Take care and big hugs to anyone that needs them

I've finally finished my peacock which was May's challenge. For a small item ( 5x7) there was an awful lot of detail ! It just needs pressing now. The pic doesn't do it justice, the colours are brighter and the gold thread shows up more "in real life"



I've now started the backstitch on Mum's UFO for my June challenge. Can you believe my 86 y/o Mum stitched this ? Her eyes are not quite sharp enough for the detailed back stitch.

Keiss - I love that bookmark, and making it into a card is just brill!!

Erics mum/LInda - That peacock is beautful, shame about having to re-do the gold but it looks lovely

Keiss. The bookmark keepsake is so cute! I love the idea of using wrapping paper backing. It's given me an idea to just laminate some really nice paper I have here and use as a bookmark.....why didn't I think of that before?!?

Ericsmum. The peacock is lovely and I love your Mum's piece. For her age she has done really well.


Now I'm off to shower, have a nice lunch then an afternoon of stitching now that my housework is caught up :T
