I really like the windmill. It's coming along very nicely!

The windmill is lovely

Great work!

Hi Tracy,

Love the windmill, real outback scene and the numbers are gorgeous.

Glad you were away from the fires too. Yes Christmas is rolling on far too rapidly and having just got a bunch of end of year school function dates from my DIL, it looks as though most of December will not be stitching days. Guess I will have to reassess my schedule considerably.

Oh to be in the northern hemisphere with that lovely snow. We have Brisbane weather at present, steamy, stuffy and not nice.
They also only have Christmas to plan for without the addition of all the lovely end of year school functions. I love being able to go and see my grandkids get their certificates and things and hear their concerts etc. Adds to the Christmas sparkle.

So my sister is one of those people who it is impossible to come up with presents for, and when you ask them what they want, they have no idea. Earlier in the year I bought a piece of lavendar 28ct evenweave (with nothing in mind for it). It dawned on me when I was edging it that my sister purple and in the Cross Stitcher 2009 Calendar that one of the lovely ladies on this forum had sent me earlier in the year, was a couple of designs suitable for her. So I decided that I would stitch Honey Bun and Gym Bunny for her. Then to use the rest of the fabric I decided that I would stitch Choc-a-holic and Couch Potato for me. I decided that I wouldn't stitch the background as I wanted to purple to show through.
Designs from calendar:





The other thing I about these designs is that they stitch up really quickly - two evenings and a lunchtime and the first one is finished:

These are really-really lovely! Great choice of patterns, I am sure your sister will love them! And the ones you chose for yourself are also cute!

Lovely projects! Love the windmill and the EMS advent number designs and of course the Margaret Sherry Honey Bun! Soooo cute!

oh how cute are these!!!

I've got that calender in my stash, and was thinking that coloured fabric would look good and save a lot of stitching -- good to see that "in action"!

A lovely finish on the windmill & great work already on the bunnies, love them!

Those are cute! And they look great on different colors of fabric.

Wow, loads of lovely work since I last looked! I adore the windmill, it's exactly my sort of thing. The numbers are lovely too, I was very tempted when I saw them on EMS, but think they will have to wait in my huge stash pile!

The bunnies are very cute and will make lovely gifts.

Those are really cute!!!!

So cute

I like the ones you have chosen to do, and good idea to not do the background

They are really cute. Well done on finishing your first one.

Gorgeous bunnies and what a great idea stitching them on the coloured fabric. Loverly!!
