Well it's ages since I updated this thread so here goes, apologies if I have put some of them in other threads I really can't remember :doh: . I think I will then start a new thread for my 2011 stitching.

The two Santa's were finished for Christmas but i had trouble with mounts and frames so I ran out of time and gave up, I will wash, press and mount them for next year.

The Cala Lily won't be mounted yet as I have just started the 'tulip' in the same series and also have the 'day lily' and 'iris' to do so I will wait and mount them all in matching mountas and frames, (could be a while yet :thinks: )

Beautiful work! So many finishes, well done! The Lily is beautiful - I'm looking forward to seeing you stitch the other flowers. I was just looking at these designs last week in Hobbycraft and thinking I'd like to do them in the future.

Well at long last I have updated this thread, I havn't done much stitching this year, I lost my bug for ages but I think it has been away on a very long holiday and just returned :lol:
The first is the tulip which I have started in the same series as the calla lilley

This is a small baby sampler I did for my friends grandaughter.

Not much to show since my last up date but hopefully I will be updating more often. I am also stitching a small magnolia flower from one of the magazines but no pic of that yet, hopefully it will be finished soon.

Thank you all for your kind comments, it's really quite strange as I didn't really enjoy doing the sepia baby sampler, it was a real chore to get it finished :roll: but I am quite pleased with the finished result/
