Check it out, four times in one month

Isobel is working on a lovely Bothy Threads project or seasonal cottages, they're so cute! 
And Sam's been working on these lovely little motifs. Aren't they cute? And they work so well with the varigated threads 
And here is Susie's crocheted Weeping Angel. She's so close. The pattern was adapted slightly to make it larger, one wing was easy and now she's trying to remember what she did for the second wing. But so close now!

I will remember to post more regularly

 As I was posting progress pictures of my Star Wars project, I thought I'd show off the finished piece! Cloudsfactory pattern, stitched of Sparklies fabric, what do you think?
As I finished that I thought I'd also show off what I started at this weeks gathering. Can you guess what it is yet? 
And here continues Anne's lovely progress on her Bell Pull, she's aiming for an end of April finish, what do you think, can she do it?

Twice in one month, who'd have believed it?

 Susie's working on Roses of Provence, and you can see the dress taking shape, looking lovely. It's a lovely design, worth hunting down if you haven't seen it, although I suspect that there'll be a bit less pink in Susie's version.


Talking of less pink by the way, if I can encourage anyone to donate to Susie's Harrogate Homeless project cause that would be fantastic.
You can find the link Here

She'll either be going bald or spending the entire day dressed entirely in pink (pretty much her greatest fear), so please think about a little donation and voting for pinkness :-)
Finally my own update, Star Wars from Cloudsfactory, another gift (that seems to be mostly what I stitch at the moment), I'm not sure if the Emperor is meant to be cute, but he kinda is.

We're back

 I'm aware that it doesn't show from my postings, but we do meet relatively regularly. So, here are some updates on our projects. Anne's been working on her lovely Elizabeth Bentley Bell Pull, and you can see how much she's done since I last posted a picture, it's looking brilliant.
Here's Isobel's lovely embroidery, I'm feeling very guilty that I can't remember the name of the designer (this is why I'm such a terrible blogger), but it's going to make a gorgeous quilt panel (along with many others that she has planned) when it's all finished. 
I've never posted any of Ann-Marie's work before because she's only joined us recently, but her Beatrix Potter Clock is looking fantastic, all the cross stitch is done, so now she's working on the back stitch, everyone's favourite bit :-)
