Speedy Stitcher ~ Cross Stitch and Stuff: Pre-packing update

Pre-packing update

Tomorrow is the last day of term! At last I might be able to spend some quality time stitching. Here is a picture of my latest finish, well not quite, as it needs to be finished off. It's 'The Wedding Quadrielle' from The Sweetheart Tree.

I have managed to do some work on White Nights, but not as much as I had hoped.

This summer I am hoping to finish this off, hence the post title, as the whole project frame, floss etc is about to be packed up and moved to my husband's house, which is where I am decamping to for most of the summer.

Fingers crossed I finish it! Then what next, what will be the next big project? Might need to have another poll.

Happy stitching!

Justflo said...: The wedding Sampler is lovely, so delicate. The White Nights is coming along so well. All credit to you for not giving up on it, it'll be worth the hours of sewing you've done.

Hope you have a lovely Summer with your DH.

Good luck with your stitching frame moving !!!; 19 July 2012 at 09:46

Jo who can't think of a clever nickname said...: The Quadrielle is gorgeous. I don't think I could finish it well enough to do it justice but I'm looking forward to seeing pics of your finish.; 27 July 2012 at 23:45
