    85 rows left to go on the rug and I promise i will post a picture of it tomorrow - decided I need to get it finished for the 19 Jul as my mum has said she will back it for me, so that's 4 rows a day.....oh well I work best under pressure i suppose.
    Though I now look at everyone's x-stitch and really miss doing it, its so portable too (the rug is not).
    Have a good evening everyone - (have a new project too that I'll start on 28 Jul and need to finish by 8/9 Aug as its a wedding anniversary present for OH) - I may need advice closer to the time

    welcome to the new joiners to the thread, always nice to have more company.

    still working on the garden bench cross stitch for step mum, its not going well as those on the cross stitch thread will know so i wont repeat my moans and groans about it here. it will get finished.

    ive knitted another baby item so only have one thing left to knit on my 50 for my 50th challenge then that will be another crossed off. wanted that finished by the beginning of july but as long as its done before my 51st birthday i suppose it still counts as completed in my fiftieth year LOL.
    SPC~12 ot 124

    Hi everyone

    Here is my latest Sandy Hook quilt square - it is for the hospital. Now on to my last one - one for the school.

    Hope all are well.

    Battleaxe - your quilts are lovely and the littles in their cardigans are so cute - well done.

    MrsMP - I agree as long as you finish before your 51st birthday then you're fine and as it's only a self kmposed deadline a few extra days won't matter.

    Sweetcarer - as usual nice Sany Hook square. I must add my details to mine and send it off.

    ok I promised this ages ago, but this is how far I am now almost done and have about ten days to get it completed so I can take it to my mum's for finishing off.
    Then I can crack on with everything else in the list
