Astounding stitch work. Extremely pretty colour threads you have chosen

In order to try out my new seat frame, I had to use a project in one of my larger wooden hoops, so I simply had to make a start on Forever Frosty

Just the padding for the scarf, but it feels good to have put the first stitches into him. And the stand works beautifully!

Mr Forever Frosty seems delighted about it too

for starting Forever Frosty. A great start Mabel and his scarf is awesome.

I've had some more stitching time this week - and finished the sunflower

I've learnt a lot from this project, and made some notes for future reference - but I'm definitely not unpicking any of this one

Oh, I want to stroke it.

Wonderful and I'm not surprised that you don't want to unpick it.

A glorious sunflower! Beautiful!

So many stitches are in this one

Yes, I shudder to think how many

- compared to Hardanger and even to freestyle that is not so densely stitched this took a very, very long time; it won't ever become my main style of embroidery but I have enjoyed it immensely, it's very therapeautic and relaxing!

Well done, Mabel!

Very unusual, wonderful stitching

Congratulations Mabel on a wonderful finish. It looks so rich almost cuddly with its dense stitching.
