Charly it's a lizziekate design, the chart was loaned to me

I've found it here so you can see the colours it's supposed to be done in. I adapted mine and did it in the colours of the schools my teachers work at. I can't show the other as I've used the space at the end to put the teachers name the school and how long they worked there.

Your quilt sounds brilliant I can't wait to see the finished photos

It's very satisfying to see something beautiful, made with love, from next to nothing, Charly.

I have now completed 10 of my 15 projects for 2015.

The Parisian Bicycle cross stitch was finished on Saturday night. Lots of back stitch and french night but I'm really pleased with it. Will post on our Flikr group once it is washed and pressed.

I started the Map of Kent cross stitch on Sunday evening and have made quite a lot of progress already. This was a £1.99 ebay bargain so very MSE :money:

I have a baby cardigan to finish this weekend. This is for a friend who doesn't know the sex of the baby, so I have made three cardies is cream, peppermint green and an Aran colour. I will also knit one in blue and one in pink to give her after the baby is born. The spare one will not go to wate I'm sure!

Finishing work today at 4.30pm then off until Wednesday I am off to Buckingham Palace on Tuesday for The WI Centenary Garden Party. Just wondered if anyone else was going?

Have a lovely stitchy weekend everyone.

Is that the one two 2 young ladies and one has her skirt hitched up on the saddle so you can sort of see her derrière?
I have that in my stash if it is. I look forward to seeing your finished one it it encourage me to make a start on mine. You've made fantastic progress on your list this year.
Have a lovely time at 'buck house'

I've been crocheting squares for the blankets for Nepal today, need to find out where to send them once I've got a few done.

I took the two pairs of bootees over to neighbour this morning she was really pleased, I didn't take a photo as they were the converse ones identical to the others I've made.

Jings, tricksie, you're rattling through your challenges! well done.

claiming another project complete!

Here's a quilted cushion cover I made for a friend. She loves the William Morris strawberry thief pattern, so I fussy cut the cats from that fabric. I think the fat cat looks a bit like an owl, however!

No it's a different one of a bicycle with a basket of flowers outside a flower shop. I will wash and press it tomorrow then post photo.

Tricksie you are steaming through those 15! How do you do it? Greent I love the cushion and I don't think it looks owlish just like a fat cat. What's fussy cutting? I am a beginner in these things! Mrs MP thanks so much for information re design I nearly, nearly pressed buy but would I get it finished before end of July do you think? I've got my lovely fleecy backing with some other pieces (not on the list naughty) and if all goes according to plan, though back at work tomorrow ,I aim to stitch an hour a night. Will keep you posted . . . . .:D:grouphug:

Charly it didn't take long to stic
Tech at all I'd say you'll, easily get it done it a month. Once you start it's easy to keep the spacing. The on,y thing I changed was the letter K was different each time so I made them all look the same as the first one, slightly odd probably but that's the only letter she'd done it with and I didn't want to look like I'd done it wrong specially for teachers lol.

Hello all,

Sorry I have not been about - been slowly plodding on with the learning sampler.

I also go some bad news last week that the exhibition had to with draw my twisted band but I managed to fix it - took it out of the glass and its now back up.

I am helping out this weekend at the exhibition from 2 o'clock - I will just be stitching and if anyone wants to learn a stitch I will show them

Hope all are well - such varied work in here.

Kind wishes,
sweetcarer
