OK - thought I'd get in the latest progress pic



Again even with my wonderful new lamp I have not spent much time stitching. Have a few 'issues' going on & sometimes just don't have the heart to get into anything

But - heigh-ho - such is life!

I am hoping that as I have a week off next week I can get my mind off everything else for a while and lose myself in this!

I am actually enjoying using this fabric & coverage to me seems OK. I have gone back to using a plastic hoop though as the q-snap did not keep things tight enough for me and being thicker than the hoop was more tiring to hold.

The main thing is, when I get to stitch I am enjoying it even though I have made an enormous boo boo somewhere along the in I am in a part of the pic I can get away with it! I hope!)

It's looking good, like a whole little picture already!
Hope you get lots of stitchy time when you're off work then, doesn't work just get in the way?!
And I can't see your mistake anywhere... the main thing is just make sure to keep it in that section, so everything else around it will still line up properly!

Lovely progress.

[Mabel Figworthy]

Enjoying is good and so is your progress

I know what you mean about the Qsnaps, I love them but they are more tiring to hold -- perhaps it's not surprising that my two UFOs are both Qsnap projects...

Really great! You're doing so well on this. I'm sure 'artistic license' will cover any little 'alteration' you made along the way.

Hi guys

Thanks for all the encouraging comments!

I have been off work for a week but only had one stitching day out of it Sill got lots done ...




Finished page 1 (bar one or 2 confetti) and have gridded up for page 2. I am afraid my earlier mistake was a miscount in one of the grid squares - I mistook the line edge which means I have ended up with one row too many BUT on the upside it's at a point where it can easily be fudged over!

I don't think I am getting on too well with this pen gridding lark. Maybe cos it's a 25 count fabric or maybe my pen doesn't work right but it doesn't seem to make nice even lines and to get the lines to show up I have to draw 3 or 4 times down the fabric. For the 2nd pages gridding I used pins to mark out the grid and a ruler to help draw the lines so I hope that I'll do better this time but I hadn't got the grid count wrong last time it's just that the lines were not clearly defined enough!
Think I am going to get some gridding thread or as someone on the forum suggested, fishing line, and try stitching a grid next time!

Well hope to do some stitching later today and maybe a bit tomorrow morning which is my last day off.

Wish me luck with page 2 - I get a feeling I'm gonna need it!
