Re: Garnet's Stitch-a-long Updated 25.11.2020
Thank you lovelies for all your kind replies.
The William Morris is on hold again (for the moment) as Bothy Threads decided to re-issue some designs as a back catalogue for download (no Wrendales though - sorry Debby - fccs) and I was delighted to get hold of their History Timeline. So I made a start, I forgot to take the before backstitch shot, so here is the first row complete.
Our lovely Sally (squirrel) sent me the chart for this and I just had to stitch it straight away, it is so right for these times we are living through. Thank You Sally. I changed to colours to my favourite Celtic colours and I'm really pleased with the way it has turned out.

The "This too shall pass" piece is beautiful, it's a Quaker style design isn't it? The other one is great fun

I think you're right Mabel, the This Too WIll Pass does have a look of the Quaker style about it, it is by My Big Toe Designs.

Wow another progressive design to keep an eye out for. The first row looks great Maureen

That frame is ideal as it gives depth to your lovely stitching. Well Done

They are lovely.
Re: Garnet's Stitch-a-long Updated 30.12.2020
They are both beautifully stitched. The time line looks fun stitching and the design and message are perfect!

The Bothy timeline is fun. Another of those designs composed of small 'finishes'. I love those.
The "Celtic" Quaker... well that is just so apt!

Gosh it has been such a long time since I posted updates, I'll pick upi here and post chronologically..
Next row
Another row
And complete
I just had to stitch Love is in the Hare, who could resist these two?
I fell in love with Daisy Mouse,those paws!
Finally I could get going on William Morris' Strawberry Thief to the finish
I have adored this Moira Blacburn sampler for ages, I just had to stitch it. There was blue dragon in the chart, but I changed it to the Red Dragon of Wales, Y DDraig Goch
My start on my latest project, Tales from the Wood.
Update
I wasn't sure about posting this one, as obviously all is not well in the world, but this is for a dear friend and the wording is apt to her. It is all hand sewn as I don't have a sewing machine and it's the first time I have ever made a cushion. I am a little bit proud.

Good to see you again!!
You have been busy!
I love all of those! and of course you had to stitch the Dragon RED!
Tales fro the Wood is lovely. Reminds me of a chart that I left behind in our move North

Loads of lovely finishes but Daisy Mouse has to be my absolute favourite, just too too adorable!

So much beautiful work!! I also love Daisy Mouse but the Sampler is my favorite I think (though hard to pick between pieces).
Looking forward to your next update!

Re: Garnet's Stitch-a-long Updated 8th March 2022
Oh my gosh, those are all so beautiful. Your stitching is perfection and I love the wide range of design styles. I think my favorite might be your pillow because it was obviously stitched and finished with great love. I have a Moira Blackburn sampler on my wish list (so far my willpower is holding) and I have a William Morris in my stash. Your pictures make me want to get the sampler and start my William Morris.

Wow! What beautiful stitching and finishes. And the pillow will give solace where it is intended.
Re: Garnet's Stitch-a-long Updated 8th March 2022
WOW! What a lot of lovely pieces. I love the history one.
