Hmm ...thanks for that!
Just hope that those from here don't 'hitch a ride' in the back of the Sofa!!

[Serinde]

Me, too!

He is so sweet! No wonder he brought your stitching mojo back

I agree. He’s adorable.

Finished an 8 hour shift at work at 10pm so watched an episode of The Last Kingdom on Netflix (huge Bernard Cornwell fan) and then decided to start 'The Autumn' by Luca-S! Have done a teeny, weeny, tiny start to it and oh boy look at the big blank canvas I have to fill!

[Serinde]

Long journeys... single steps. This is going to be lovely.

[Podolyanka]

Dont be afraid of that blank fabric you need to fill in, Nicola. Luca's charts are pure perfection, a great result is always guaranteed, so go ahead and enjoy the process. Happy stitching.

[wendywombat]

I am amazed that you could even see to stitch that much in the wee small hours!!

But it's a Start and all the good for that!

[Mabel Figworthy]

Every stitch is a stitch!

[rcperryls]

I love those brand new starts. It's like starting a new adventure but with a road map (the chart). I am looking forward to watching the progress on this project!

At least it will keep you out of mischief for some time to come. Yes there is a big expanse of unstitched area but the trick is to concentrate on what is done not what is to do. An interesting start for sure.

[Nicola Main]

Started a free Christmas SAL from Lakeside Needlecraft last night and just finished part 1 of 4 just now. Love to do backstitch so this design suits me! Part 2 released on Wednesday!

[Squirrel]

What a cutie that is. Love it.

[Serinde]

Bright!

Just put in an order with Lakeside, and noticed their SAL "wreath"... I'm tempted.

[Steam.Jo]

That's lovely. Have you thought what you might do with it?

Jo

P.S. (I thought it would be good as a drinks coaster )

[Nicola Main]

That's a super idea Jo! I think the finished design will be 4 squares in total all joined by the border. Looking forward to the next part xxx

[wendywombat]

I'm always interested in The Lakeside 'Freebies' I did their Hardanger one as a gift for our Post Lady on her retirement in France. I always thought that I might do it again for myself.
That looks very pretty...I might just be tempted too.


I think I need to wake up my Stitching Bug with some small designs before going back to my 2 WIP's!

[rcperryls]

Nicola, that looks like fun and Wendy, good idea to wake up your Stitchy Bug. I'll bet his been stretching his limbs.

Lovely stitching, and such a nice bright pic.

I also like doing backstitch….though my current picture is really trying my patience. Lol

[Mabel Figworthy]

So bright and colourful, and very neatly stitched!
