to complete. Looking forward to seeing Ballet Bear

nimbo great selection of cards - well done

carlamarie beautiful memo board


As for me I got some stitching done on my Wedding Sampler, took 3 stitched pieces to the framers and spent a lot of time on Sunday sorting through my stash. I now have a list of UFOs I want to finish - in various stages - some only have a few stitches in them, others just need to be made into cushions or wall hangings or framed. I also found a few designs which I had kitted up which are now on my to do list. If I do all of these it will be a lot more than 14 projects but I'm not making any promises :rotfl:

Yesterday evening was spent "reverse stitching" and we all know that takes far longer than the original stitching. I had uncovered a piece of needlepoint - a Japanese lady by Gloriafilia It is almost complete but I made a mistake and stitched a section in the wrong colour which is probably why is was put away and became a UFO. I now intend to finish it as I really like the design. It doesn't really show on the photo but the section of background from her head down is in the wrong shade (and is now unpicked)

That is stunning - something else that I have not attempted - is needlepoint the same as tapestry?

I had so much fun testing out my new free motion quilting foot on my sewing machine. If you look closely at the quilt you can see my thready scribbles! For some strange reason OH wasn't as excited about this as me!?

Only away for a few hours and lots of lovely new photos added to our Flickr group :T

Tashatutuw Your blinged lip balms sound like a great idea for your flower girls

dakota lovely all your knitted projects - makes me want to take up knitting again

florenceem needlepoint and tapestry are often used as interchangeable terms although technically a tapestry is woven while needlepoint is counted embroidery stitches on canvas (often using wool although not always - my Japanese lady is stitched using perle cotton). I used to do quite a lot but then got more absorbed in cross stitch and I just don't have enough time to do everything I want to do

luckycat your are warmer and quilt are gorgeous. Did you do the quilting by hand or machine?

Thank you

I machine quilted as doing it by hand takes ages and I'm too impatient!

Everyones work is so inspiring.
At present I'm working on a new dress to wear to a baby's Name Day (this month) & a short cape thingy that I'm crocheting. Found that pattern in an old mag & love its textured effect.
Have finally sorted a Flicker account....just need to understand how to share it here.....
