Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

The little floral bits between the sayings are a lot more time consuming than I thought! But with Sunday and my stitching group gone, this is where I am -- number two has all the floral bits done, and 4 out of 10 coloured rectangles around the capital letters, and number three has quite a bit of the floral done, just the yellow bits to go (I think of them as a poppy with two leaves and bits of grain either side )

Very nice work, Mabel!

Wow! Those are coming along quickly!

The flying needles award goes to... Mabel Figworthy!

Just catching up...the bag turned out great. The buttons add so much to the finish. The Madonnas together look fantastic they will indead make nice cards. Work on the bookmarks appears faster than you might think

Those bookmarks are great, love them.

Wow flying needles. They are comeing along quickly

Finished the cross stitching on #2, this was done using Splendor silk for the letters (they all do), and Carrie's Creation & Vikki Clayton silk for the colourd bits. #3 needs another 6 coloured squares, and of course they both need putting together. I am SO glad I did the backs first!

Great job!

These are looking good Mabel.

Just lately eveyone seems to be stitching to tight dealines.

You're a very fast stitcher! The bookmarks are great! And I love your color choice for the third one

Just time before I go to say finished all the cross stitching on the bookmarks!!!! Here they are -- I'll assemble the two on the right this weekend and present them on Wednesday.

They look great Mabel

Beautiful!

They look wonderful!!!! Great job!!

They're lovely Mabel. Any chance of seeing the backs please as I'm interested in knowing how you're finishing them.

very nice!!

Great finishes!

Well done Mabel, great work. Hope you have a great time in London and get lots of great stash. Looking forward to the pictures
