So now to get on with the BMW logo coaster and keyring.

First I have Mabel to thank for making up the charts for me.

So first up I'm working on the coaster.
I'm using the 30ct antique white fabric flair cotton/modal.
I'm stitching one over one and the coverage is good, So I'm well pleased with that.
It's tiny but I'm managing so far.
So here's the first picture. Just a few stitches so far.


Am really looking forward to doing this. Have to hide it from hubby. Nearly slipped up and told him about the email, I was so excited! Just caught myself in time!

This is going to be great, cant wait to see it. U have made a great start..... wel done.
Well done also for catching urself nearly slipping up and saving urself.

[~threadbear~]

Hah Thanks Sammy, I couldn't believe it when I nearly said it. Silly me!!!


The picture isn't the best, I'll try and take one in daylight at the next update ...so everyone remind me not to take one at night please.

[sammy_v]

Ur very welcome. Now all u have to do is try not say anything till u have done it....u can do it, will this help???

Ill try remember about this pic at nite but im just the same lol.

Well it is looking great ... and girl just about the only time I get a chance to take a picture is in the evening (of ANYTHING!) so much so that I literally got a lens for my camera that would handle the low light

[agi]

Very good start! I can hardly wait for more!

[mauveme]

Great start--I like the colour of the fabric too. Your tile turned out beautifully as well.

[Mabel Figworthy]

Good start, TBear -- and how fortunate you stopped yourself just in time from revealing the surprise! Looking forward to daylight updates already

[carolyn61]

Great start Threadbear. I don't know if I could keep a secret from hubby. I'm always babbling and would probably let it slip. to you. Looking forward to watching this one.

[~threadbear~]

Thanks everyone!
This is 95x95 tiny,tiny TINY little stitches ....

I don't seem to be seeing alot of progress at the moment and am already panicking that it'll be finished in time, but I'm determined to give it a good shot.
Progress picture to come later this morning when I go upstairs and get the camera.

[charmagne_capalad]

Great start TB
...and don't panic..I'm sure you'll manage to finish it on time!

Take care!

[~threadbear~]

Well it hardly seems an update, but it is

[Mabel Figworthy]

It certainly is progress, well done! Don't worry if it takes a little longer than usual to begin to take shape -- think of it as your own little HAED project (and sustain yourself with lots of !)

[agi]

Very good progress, T-bear! Keep up the good work!

[sammy_v]

It sure is progress, dont u go worrying that it aint. Well done

[charmagne_capalad]

That surely has a great progress...! Happy stitching! Take care!
