Did You Stitch Today

[nettie]

I have done an hour today trying to get motivated but struggling.

[Mabel Figworthy]

I had an hour in our sunny garden reading my newly arrived Cross Stitcher -- no stitching, but very relaxing after a hard week and 2 hours of Parents meeting this morning!

[maggs]

last night I managed about three hours of stiching, and I have done about 1 hour today so far

[~threadbear~]

I stitched last night, working on this sampler. Hoping to get a bit more done on it today as well.

[Lizzy]

I did a a couple of hours last night but mixed all my > and < up so now have to Not a good idea to stitch when I'm tired

[~threadbear~]

Aww Lizzy . Have some and we'll that nasty old frog for being so mean!

[Lizzy]

Aww Lizzy . Have some and we'll that nasty old frog for being so mean!

Aw fanks I did 200 sts too but its my own fault

[Mabel Figworthy]

Did some stitching in our sunny garden yesterday -- bliss, utter bliss !

[Rose]

Oh Mabel I sat out on my front porch and stitched yesterday and it was so nice. That was how I found my mistake. I had grabbed the B5200 white instead of the Blanc when I was stitching the wings and it was very obvious when looking at it in the natural light of the day.

[Serinde]

I spent about 2 hours stitching a hardanger bookmark for the minister of the local kirk, who is retiring. Although I'm not a churchgoer, he considers everyone part of the parish, and was very helpful when the parents-in-law died.

All went well until it came to the cutting and removing of threads. Couldn't understand why the fabric just wasn't cooperating. Then the awful truth dawned. It wasn't 22ct hardanger I'd grabbed. It was 18ct Aida, and fighting back.

Am starting again tonight... (some really lovely Caron thread wasted, and all...)

[burgundyice]

Did about 10mins this morning before setting off for work. Don't know if I will be motivated to work on it again tonight, I might just be grateful that Monday is over with & that I can rest!! Am tired out as I'm looking after a work experience student this week! The disadvantage of being told I'm a good teacher is that we keep getting them sent here!

stitched like mad since lunch time and have got the wedding sampler done!
happy dance

[Mabel Figworthy]

Oh Serinde what a nuisance! (and shame about the threads too) Is there no way aida can be made to behave in a hardangerish way?

[Serinde]

Well, yes, Mabel, it can. And I did manage to wrest all the errant threads out. But it's really too big... and too bulky. I would have realised sooner if I have been using pearl 5 and 8, but Caron Watercolours covered beautifully! And if I were thinking about a design which just contained satin stitch and cut work without the needleweaving, I might consider 18ct aida in future. *sigh*

Got quite a lot of 'Leonardo' done yesterday and sunday. Hopefully will have another quiet day today so I can do even more. Hope to put on SAL at end of week.

Made a start on the friendship exchange last night. Hoping to get it finished this evening.
