Stitch-A-Long Update


Well here is my Stitch-a-long update, a couple of days late, however given that I changed my colour theme and had to redo blocks I am really happy with my progress.

Part 5 completed.

Part 4 completed

Part 3 - 2 small circles to be completed inside circles not squares, oopps.

Part2- some stitching and more circles needed.

Part1- just some stitching

Hooray I feel as though I am somewhere in the ball park again.
Cheers, Maxine
