There has been a little progress on my block G, I have finished the bird bath. Also stitched up the little ladybug for the next block. As you can see below I messed up the bud flowers in the brid bath block. I use pigma pen to trace, and I just copied the little circles for the buds as they were drawn. When I got to the stitching, I see they were meant to be a french knot, and when I tried they wouldn't hide the pen circles I had drawn. Anyway, I quite like how they turned out though. We are going away on holiday on Saturday, for a couple of weeks, so I will trace up some more blocks to stitch while I'm away. I may not have it sewn up by the end of the month, but should be within a couple of days into May, I hope. It feels a bit like failing an exam to not meet the 'deadline', but I hope you will all understand.
All the finishes I've seen on here are just beautiful, there is such a huge variety of colours and fabrics happening. Till next time, I hope you are all enjoying your stitching!

Hi Nicky, I really like the way your little buds turned out. I bet there were some teeny tiny stitches in there to get them so smoothly round - well done

Looks good. Have a great holiday. I just finished this one too. Taking your stitcheries on holidays is nothing like having to take your school work with you when we were kids.

I like the buds the way you did them. It makes me want to re-do mine that way.
Gorgeous stitching, your buds look really good :)
Great stitching Nicky! My flower buds will look the same as that is how I traced them too LOL
I think what you did looks great. It makes it uniquely your own. I haven't even begun because I just found out about it but Chooky assures me I should go ahead and do it so I am awaiting the book.
