So I started this at the beginning of the month, and did pretty well doing one block/letter a day and then I got sick and then went out of town for a few days and yada yada...but yeah. It's progressing rather well. Oh, and it's going to be a baby quilt for my aunt who is expecting in January.

It looks like they're all animals - but what's X? I can't make it out...

Yeah, they're all animals. I have no idea what animal some them are supposed to be...like X. I got squat when I googled animals that start with the letter x so your guess is as good as mine.

It is absolutely stunning. You have done a great job and I am sure your aunt will be delighted with it.

What are you planning on stitching next?

What a fun design! Yes, i was wondering about the X as well...

[lwelizabeth]

Sorry it's been awhile since my last post, I really hate not having my own computer . Anyway I've gotten a bit more done on the piece; mom said we should be able to get to the craft store sometime later this weekend so I can pick up some more of the thread that I've used up (alot of blue for that border!)



Oh, I also stopped doing the eyes for the moment cause it's one stitch for that animals eyes, two for the one and yadda yadda...I've decided to just leave the eyes til the end for now.

[Cecilia]

Well done great progress and excellent stitching.
