All the patterns you do are superb. I'm just catching up on this thread. Where do you find the time to stitch so much? WOW! It's just amazing to see how many progress pics you put up. Well done

Hi, thanks for all the lovely comments.

Its a freebie off this site http://marikabel.splinder.com/tag/schem ... ns+sampler" target="_blank (just copy and paste the link, if not I have a link on my blog but only to the home page, this link is to the direct pattern) If you scroll down the page it is about the third pattern down. It's a nice little pattern to stitch, didn't really take too long but looks really effective when done.

At the moment I am very lucky in that I have a lot of time to stitch. The last four years I have spent studying and couldn't do as much as I wanted so now I am spending every free moment I can stitching.

I have another update. The last two weeks I have spent on the next sections of my wizard and Whale and Dolphin Sampler. They stitched up pretty quickly:

Here is my latest finish. I have been working on it in the mornings of last week. It is a Lizie Kate freebie and I it. It has stitched up really nicely and I added the button embellishment that they suggested on the pattern which I think looks really effective at the bottom of the exclamation mark:

I finally finished the third page of my fractal bookmark 268. I really am loving how this is turning out. The pattern is so different and abstract to anything I have stitched before. There are loads of colours but I am not ever bored stitching it. Here is a progress pic of the third page:



And as a whole:



Before moving onto the next project in my rotation (HAED Christmas Tree and Animals) I took a break a stitched up a mini kit. I the 'simples' advert from the U.K. and this project sums up how I feel. Happy Stitching Everybody!!!
