Yes I was really busy for the Friday Night Sew in.. I totally forgot to post yesterday!! I was so engrossed with what I was doing all I wanted to do was finish it! And I am pleased to say I have!!!
Want to see what I have been doing...
It started like this...
Then grew a little more...
Into this...
I made it for my mum as she loves witches...
I stitched it on 32 count permin linen and use felt to back it. I really enjoyed this one, a lot of fun to make...
If you recognize its this... "You forgot my car seat" by Prairie Moon.
... I just did not use all the design... photo taken from 123.stitch .com
Oh I have not neglected my Blue Ribbon Design.. "Garden Sampler"... not at all...
Here is an up date on that...
This is what I did... the last 2 sections ready to be filled then its complete!
And we bought some bake from the tin Pain au chocolate... mmmm
These were a lovely 'naughty' treat... I had 2 :)
My Friday night with Friends spread to Saturday too!! And I had a whale of a time :)
I hope you all had fun ...
Well back to my stitching...
Thank You for popping in and feel free to leave a comment :)
smiles to you all :)

Lovely stitching. Glad you had a busy, fun evening.
ReplyDeleteWow, you really do have smoking needles! I suppose that is what happens when you don't have small children anymore. I guess Hannah puts herself to bed now LOL.
ReplyDeleteThe witch looks great, you're getting good at these ornie finishes too.
You are one quick stitcher!!! I like that witch, and your finish! If you keep this up, you will have a Halloween tree at your house!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Love the finish you used!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish for your Mum, she will love it.
ReplyDeleteLove the Witch finish!
ReplyDeleteWow Jac lovely witch for your mom what a great finish , all your stitching looks fab , hugs.
ReplyDeleteA perfect witch finish for you mum :) I love the fact you didn't use the whole design, it is just really cute xx
ReplyDeleteHello Jacquie - just visiting from FNSI. I love your witch and there is some beautiful work in your garden sampler. xx
ReplyDeleteGreat stitch and finish. I see you're putting masking tape around the edge of your fabric. I don't bother to do anything with my edges (and I've been stitching since 1997!) yes they fray a bit but I find they stop after 1/4 inch or so and less waste than cutting that tape away... and you can start right away!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the witch project. Very nice finish! Can go both as Halloween and as Christmas decoration on the tree. :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! great work, so productive for Friday night.
