Do you have a deadline for Mum's quilt? Was it for a milestone birthday or a I dreaming? Got the builders/plumbers in and there is an awful lot of banging etc going on so my concentration level is even worse than normal today.

I'm going to try for her 70th birthday, which is just under 5 years time!

I'm baaackkkkk Only a page and a half to catch up on in over 10 days, I'm disappointed :mad: Only kidding, glad to be getting back to normal after the move, managed a couple hours of stitching and have some update photos so will get them posted soon.

JCS1, love the roses the BS really brings it to life

Sweetcarer, beautiful update as always

PM2326, elvis looks great framed, your mum will be over the moon with it.

KEZ, love the dictionary of tea lots of work in those designs.

Mrs ceejay, well done on completing the big cat, he's stunning.

It sounds it, but it probably won't be enough time! I've not done any other sewing apart from two basic cushions, so this is going to be a challenge.

Elizabeth, I love the vibrant colours, it must be a joy to stitch

Can anyone remember what magazine had a Christmas meerkat card, I think Louise stitched it? Here is the latest RF update as promised, not sure if i'll meet my deadline but then again I didn't plan on moving when I set it :rotfl:

Thank you, yes, it is fun to work colour wise. It's a bit 'bitty' though - lots of colour changes after only a couple of stitches, so it takes a long time.

I love the reds in your poppy fields too!

Hope to get more done soon. I've already started on some more water and some more greenery....:p
