Just a seriously fast drive-by to upload these stitching piccies … I’m on 5am shifts at the moment, and I can hardly keep my eyes open, so I’m going to go lay down for a short time – but wanted to post these while I’ve got them on the computer screen …
First up is the latest progress shot of round 4 of our Quaker Friendship Sampler RR. This is the piece belonging to Barbara, and as normal the photo does the actual piece no justice at all, it’s truly gorgeous! Love the choice in colours! 😀 I can’t believe we’re actually 2/3 of the way through this RR now, with only 2 more stitching sessions left! That means I must have Nicki’s arriving on my doorstep next, followed by the last in line (for me), Katrina’s. I’ve loved stitching this, my very first full quaker design … and I’m sure it won’t be the last.
Next up is a tiny wee finish, that believe it or not took me three whole days to stitch (yep, my mojo is well and truly lost – I’d normally sit and stitch that in less than a day hmmm). Anyway here goes – here’s Snow Faces by Just Nan:
Sorry for the crappy photography just lately – I always seem to be taking photos at night and the lighting here is appalling … but you get the general drift.
Rightio, I’m off for a kip/reading/TV session … no doubt his nibs will be wanting to use me as a cushion as well, so I’d better get my battle gear on ready. Not sure whether I’ll be reading the final Harry Potter book (thanks to Daniel for buying it, I’m starting my first Harry Potter book by reading the final one – dopey? probably!) … or whether I’ll be watching season 3 of Moonlighting (also compliments of Daniel and Jason – Jason especially LOVES old TV shows, so I’ve been watching seasons 1 and 2 all week) … but either way I won’t be sitting upright! 😉
The GREAT news is that I cashed in some gift vouchers at Officeworks and bought a 2GB flash drive so I’ve FINALLY been able to download this month’s Gift of Stitching magazine – the DVD/CD drive won’t let me copy files on Daniel’s PC, and I won’t have the internet after I leave here for a while … now I’m very very happy as I’ve been able to download and copy the August issue .pdf file plus a couple of online freebie charts back onto my laptop – yippee!!! 😀
Rightio … off to my sofa in the corner I go before I fall asleep in a pile of drool on the keyboard! …
Feather Stitching 
Oh boy, Anne, that looks FABULOUS!!!!! 😀
Lovely progress, and Snow Faces is so cute!
Good work on Snow Faces, I’ve always loved that little design. I’ll have to pick it up at The Crewel Gobelin next week 🙂
You know Anne, you’ve inspired me, I think I might be house sitting next year, as my sister is moving out on me! I’m looking into it.
Cute finish
Great stitching! I love the colours in Barbara’s RR and the snowmen are so cute.
Aww, don’t read the last one first – it really will spoil the rest for you if you find you do get into them. It’s the one that answers all the question so you’ll know all the answers before you begin the other books.
Snow faces is so cute!! Great job, Anne:)
Just a word of caution-you might not understand a word of what is going on in the book if you start at the end.
Lovely progress I am sorry your mojo is a bit gone. Maybe you can try some quilting by hand.
The Quaker RR is so pretty! You are all going to have such lovely finished pieces soon! Snow Faces is so cute too, I have that one in my stash.
Cute finish! Barbara’s Quaker RR is beautiful, love the colours!
Lovely stitching and who cares how long snow faces took! It is still lovely. Hope you got some sleep
Barbara’s friendship piece looks so wonderful! And Snow Faces is very sweet too.
Hi Anne, I hope all is fine with you. Did you get my email from August 10?
Barbara’s RR is looking absolutely stunning!
You are making great stitching progress 🙂 Glad to hear that the kittie is behaving more civally!
