Revisiting ......

Scandinavian Rose

So far I have only finished the first two blocks so a few days ago I dug it all out
to try and work out what I'm doing with this project.



I added the next two blocks to help me decided if I should just settle on a 
smaller wall hanging or commit to the full quilt and after a few positive and encouraging
comments on IG I have decided to give it another go.  I have now completed Block 3 and
started Block 4.


Lucy Boston - Patchwork of the Crosses

I have taken a little break from my Lucy Boston thanks to the blunt end of the needle going through
the end of my finger a few to many times .... ouch. I have competed one more block which takes me to 10 Blocks.


  The fabrics that I purchased during the destash on IG recently
have arrived and I am looking forward to playing with them.



In other news, these guys are going off on a little adventure for a few months.
Hope they behave themselves :)


and these arrived in my mail box yesterday.  Issue 2 should only be a day or two away.
I think that this might actually be my first magazine subscription. A nice, refreshing and modern magazine.
If you are interested they can be seen HERE.


Have an amazing day,
hugs Sharon

  3. It's a great magazine, isn't it! Waiting for my next issue - hoping to pick it up tomorrow! Also not sure if you've heard about another new magazine by the same publishers called Hoop La all about embroidery - the first issue is due out in the next couple of days....

  5. I love the Scandinavian Rose embroideries and think you will be pleased continuing with them. Love those wee folk, clever you! Ofcourse, Patchwork of the Crosses is my fav even though I haven't yet started it and I do so love those repro fabrics . Right up my alley. Lots of beautiful work.

    1. Don't know how I deleted the comment.. Oh well. I said it was beautiful! Also wanted to ask you what pen you use to trace your stitching. I know this one comes with the design printed but wondered what you usually use. I'm in the market for another method.
