Firstly, Thank You for all the lovely comments that have been made about my finishing ~ it's humbling to be told such lovely things from people I consider to be beautiful stitchers.
In answer to the question on colour co-ordination ~ my stitching so far this year has all been completed using stash I already owned. Each of the birthday gifts were stitched using colours I thought appropriate to the designs, and in some instances to the recipients ~ when I started stitching I had given no thought as to what the final projects would be or what fabric would be used to finish them. I was quite amazed that when I checked my fabric stash I was able to match the stitching perfectly! LM was astounded when I showed him my choices, especially when he discovered that they were all waiting patiently in my fabric drawer! How often would that happen - lovely happy accidents!
My stitching has almost ground to a halt this week ~ my only progress being on a secret project, a spring pincushion for an exchange on The Friendly Stitchers Group. I have another exchange to start ~ also on the spring theme ~ a bookmark exchange on Needlecraft Haven Group. I'm still deciding what I shall stitch for this.
One finish that I can now show ~ it was reveal day today for the monthly challenge on Needlecraft Haven.
Love by The Stitcherhood
Stitched on 28ct evenweave - an ornament cut
with Morning Glory by GAST and finished as a trinket tray.
This is not a finish I have tried before but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.
The GB's return to school tomorrow after half term ~ GB1 has only 7 weeks left now! Wow!
LM has travelled today to be insitu for tomorrow's job in Berkshire. So I have spent Sunday afternoon catching up with emails, blog reading and the usual HW chores.
A new month will shortly be upon us ~ can you believe it? March already!
Have a fabulous week.
Kate
