Garnet's works-in-progress update 30.8.18

[fccs]

I blame the indecisiveness on the fact that Wrendale just has too many fabulous designs!!! It's their fault. Yep.

Couldn't agree more Debby!

[Garnet]

Me too

And there's going to be more coming out in the not too distant future, including the one our Nicola is stitching up for bothy.

[sina28]

Do you know which ones are coming out?

[Garnet]

I don't, but our Nicola is our secret agent in Bothy Threads and sometimes has the inside knowledge. It was Nicola who enabled, err, I mean told me Birds of a Feather was coming out in the last tranche of releases.

* now I've given myself visions of Nicola's profile pic in a beige trenchcoat and dark glasses*

** waits for Nicola to come along**

[sina28]

I know Nicola is stitching a new one and I also know they're coming out with a bumble bee one, they posted a sneek peak of that one on their Facebook page.

[Garnet]

Oh fiddlesticks, I am not on Facebook ( and nothing will ever persuade me to join either, no not even Wrendale/Bothy )

Sounds intriguing Sina, I am still hoping for the scruffy single penguin to be converted into cross stitch. The one that's on a Congratulations card, standing on one foot ( flipper?)

[Nicola Main]

Oh my that made me laugh Maureen!!! Well yes there is a Bumble bee coming out and another hare design called 'The Hippy Hare' (definite for me) and I think there's a llama with specs. I'm stitching one but don't think it's for Autumn releases as she doesn't need it back until the end of August and Autumn ones come out in August. I better be careful what I say though as not sure I'm allowed to divulge too many secrets and don't want told off! xxx

[sina28]

No need for you to join Facebook, I'll let you you everything that's posted on Bothy's page and I'm sure others will too!

[Garnet]

He now has eyes and ears.



He is hard going though as the thread is SO awful, it shreds and knots even when I check it is not twisted. I still intend to stitch the Fox, Owl and Hedgehog I was given but I will be getting my DMC Thread book out and colour matching as far as possible.

When I put him down for a while he still makes me smile though, he will be holding his pine cone and going MINE! ( in squirrel - ese )when he is finished

[fuchsiafairy]

Beautiful stitching, this little guy gets cuter each time Love his hands - look forward to next update soon as it I s gorgeous project

[poppy]

He is already VERY cute!

[wendywombat]

Shame that the thread is so bad, but you are still making a fantastic job there.
The little squirrel is so nice , well done

Good idea to match up with threads from your stash for the next one.

[Squirrel]

A great update on this oh so cute one and he looks really alive now with his facial features all done. Well Done you are making good progress even in spite of bad thread.

[Nicola Main]
