Some stitching done....

Over the past two weeks, I have managed to get some stitching done during two busy weeks. Here are some of the bugs and the flower basket.
This is the Potting plants stitchery.
And here is the bird bath. I can't do any patchwork yet (mind you that is what I tend to put off!) as I have ordered the fabric from The Home Patch for the outer border. Once I get that I will be able to choose my other fabrics from my stash, I hope.
It is fun to be part of this blog for this quilt as it is so inspiring to see the progress of the other stitchers.

The stitcheries look lovely Sylvia! Good on you for planning to use your stash for most of the quilt; and a great idea to buy the border fabric then add in with your stash! Look forward to seeing how you go.

Thanks so much for your comments. If only the "piecing" was as much fun as the stitching!

I like to see the way each person has their own way of doing the stitcheries , with stitches and colour.
