I had some lovely stitching time over the weekend, so I've finished number four as well

-- here is spring:

I'll write the chart packs today so they can go live tomorrow with a bit of luck (I have a few diagrams still to draw...)

And here they are in coasters -- I'd got some 90mm coasters especially, but they turned out to be not "deep" enough

. Fortunately they just fit in the 80mm coasters I already had, and they are deep enough

!

(If anyone is interested in 90mm coasters -- too shallow for Hardanger but should be fine for cross stitch or blackwork -- pm me

)

They look fantastic in the coasters! Great finishes. I'm sure you'll have some takers for these when they go live.

At stitching group this afternoon I finished the first of the Round the Clock series -- here is Morning; I chose a Caron thread that has dawn colours, pink, lilac and yellow. The perle #5 is Anchor's metallic though the bling doesn't really show up well in the picture. There's also a close-up of the cantral Y-bars, a variation of mine on the double wrapped bars. I like the "crooked" look it's got

.
This one and its three siblings will be sewn onto little goody bags (when Clever Baggers has got the orange one in stock again

)

Those coasters are gorgeous, Mabel!!!!

And I love the "Morning" design, I like the look of the "crooked" bars as well!

The four seasons look great in their coasters! And i love Morning, the crooked bars look brilliant!

Very neat design! The central section makes me think of motion and how I feel like I'm going in circles until I wake up.

I love those threads.

Just Perfect!!

So beautiful

Nachstenliebe · Post by **Nachstenliebe** » Thu Jun 16, 2011 2:07 pm

Very impressive!!! I have to admit that seeing all your wonderful work makes me a bit scared to finish one of the designs I purchased from you... It's not going to look even half as nice as yours

Faith

Lovely work--coasters are fabulous and I really love the last one a lot!! The cantral Y-bars look great and I'd love to learn how to stitch them up!! Very nice!!!

Your work is always amazing Mabel. Fantastic!

Thank you all! It is so encouraging to hear your comments.

Here is Noon -- this one uses my "bow tie stitch". I had to unpick the very first one I did because I forgot the little holding stitch in the centre

. I must also remember *ties knot in handkerchief* to put in the instructions not to pull the wrapped bars too tightly, so you can take the needle through them more easily.
