Feb Stitchery........
Hi everyone...........
Hope you've got your stitchery traced off and maybe started........
I'm off out to the chook shed to trace mine off now.............
I've started - have changed the stitchery design (still from Natalie's book though) and am enjoying it. It's great to have a must-do project that has a deadline (so it gets done) and is for ME!!
I have traced it onto my favourite linen and chosen my thread, not quite started the stitching. It's going to get me into trouble starting another stitcher, I love them so much and get very addicted. Vignette is going to have a little rest. Racing the clock this time, not going to be making it in the last few hours lol Hugz Meg
I have changed the stitchery too but it is one of Natalie's from another of her books. Going to continue when I stop playing with the computer. Hugs....
On today's list of things - going to change the stitch up though - thinking of using tea is good for the soul from another project as its going to be a gift for a friends birthday, and the bag will hold some tea and treasures!

I have my fabric selected (from my stash which I have so grown out of), about 1/4 of the way through the stitching....mine is for a friend!
Thank you Chooky !! I plan to trace the design the day after tomorrow !!

Traced and underway. Planning more for the weekend. I'll be selecting fabrics on Monday.
