Garnet's Stitch-a-long Updated 26th July 2022

Post by Garnet »

Hello Lovelies,

Well, I was going to start the Joan Elliott Medieval Lady at the beginning of the year, however I had this for Christmas

Image

Well I had 4 William Morris kits actually (I know I am so lucky) and this one was calling to me, so here is where I am after three days stitching, I hadn't meant for it to be a triangle, that's just where I followed the symbols to

Image

so, between the four William Morris and the four Joan Elliott Medieval Ladies I think I am about set for the next two years, I plan on stitching a William Morris then a Joan Elliott, then back to William Morris and so on - unless Wrendale bring out more cuties :tizzy:

That corner is lovely in itself! And I'm a great believer in stitching whatever calls to you :-) (Not that I want to encourage bad behaviour and pushing & shoving in my projects, of course - they have to let me know they want to be stitched in a polite and mannerly fashion)

:applesauce: :applesauce: Lovely start!! And I agree with Mabel, sticking with the project nagging the most (my projects nag) usually makes my stitching life much easier.

Of all his designs I have seen, I like this most of all- for its being so elegant, delicate and pleasant. One of those rare designs at which one can look forever. A great start, Maureen. Happy stitching!

It will have to go on hold for a bit while I stitch a present for a mum-to-be ( I'll only share it after the happy event :) ) and I can't wait to get back to Bellflower.

Hello Lovelies, thank you for all your kind replies.

I had put Bellflower on hold while I stitched a Baby gift, which I have now finished, but can't post here until after it's gifted.

So I have returned to Bellflower and

I am loving the colours and stitching this one.
