3 points where 2 lines meet

Am a useless Blogger it must be said. Don't seem to have be doing things I can blog at present but have had a really enjoyable long weekend with a friend from Christchurch.  She wanted to make a quilt so bought up a collection of fabric to make a triangle quilt. She got well on the way, when it's finished it will be 6 blocks by 9 blocks.  Today we made 'fox blocks' mine only got as far as the top where as Jessie quilted and bound hers. It has been a fantastic weekend.

Progress is being made on the Guild piece and even through Tracy Franklin has finished her Crathorne bug mine is still to be completed....

Progress of sorts

Well, I have procrastinated over the seeding stitch and done it so well that the next step has been released, so the bug now has legs. I am really enjoying this piece. Need to get the Guild crewel work piece onto the frame and get this month's stitching done....

New Project takes a bad turn....

I so needed to start a new project - not- but oh well did it anyway! As a reader of Tracy A Franklin's blog I was enjoying watching her Crathorne bug project evolve so decided before she got too far along I had better get it started.  Things were going along well new techniques were being tried and enjoyed and catching up was in sight till yesterday when the next step was shown and it involves seed stitch. A horror stitch to me as it involves that terrible word RANDOM. I do not cope well with random so even though I am viewing this piece as a learning piece - there are some slightly dodgee  stitched pieces I think a wee practice will be in order before I can begin the next phase. But I do recommend checking out Tracy's blog and also stitching the piece it is a lot of fun...

Progress so far.
