With a day off, I started and finished Round Two of Mabel's RIC SAL this morning - another beautiful design, even though it contained stitches from the "looped" family @rotfl: !

Loops look good to me!

Lovely colours! Have you hand hemmed the fabric or is that a pre hemmed piece?

Thank you ladies :wub: ! Wendy and Sally, unfortunately the lacing edging has nothing to do with my fabric but is down to the app I use to edit my photos :) .

Finally a proper finish for the year, a HAED of all things, QS Lady Bug is done!

I haven't had a lot of time for stitching lately and my mojo has waned a bit, but a few weeks ago I finished Flowers of the Field:

This morning I spent a very enjoyable few hours starting and finishing Mabel's next Round:

I don't usually use hand dyed fabric for Hardanger - the thought of "wasting" the fabric by cutting it goes against my grain, but I really like how this one turned out!
