Isn't it lovely!

This is one of the seasons cottages from Bothy Threads by Isobel, This is where she was up to by the time we left last Thursday, she was hoping to have page finished by the end of the bank holiday weekend, so hopefully there'll be another progress picture to show you all soon.

A little progress

 We were quite a quiet group this week, possibly because we were in the run up to the bank holiday, so I've only got a few pictures over the next couple of weeks. I'll start with the beginning of my twiddle muff because it doesn't really look like much at the moment, although I did go bling shopping yesterday, and it turns out that I have quite a childish sense of humour.
I always forget the name of this piece when I'm posting an update for Susie, I think it's called Rose Arbour, or something along those lines, and it's definitely from Mirabilia. You can definitely see the bodice coming together.

Early May Part 2

 I'm carrying on with my new project, which still looks like absolutely nothing, it turns out that I am the slowest stitcher that the world has ever seen.
You can see a little bit of pattern on the edge, this will be Cathy and Heathcliff when it's finished, although there has been some debate about hair colours, both are blonde, and we're all agreed that that's not right. Heathcliff should be darker, I'm less certain about Cathy, she's a red head in my head, but I've a sneaking suspicion that that's thanks to the Cliff Richard musical, but I might have a play with their hair colours.
Yet another nearly finished, Sam's getting so close to finished her lovely Snowman, there will definitely be a finish for Christmas, I should think before we even get into the summer.

Early May Part 1

Anne's project is looking beautiful, she's so close to the finish now. She was aiming for the end of April, so we're all pretending that it's still April. And it's looking great, hopefully I'll be able to post a finished picture of this soon.



This is Isobel's Mystery SAL this year... sadly I've completely forgotten who it's run by, but patterns are released throughout the year and you make two of three squares from each pattern then stitch them all together to make a very cute blanket.
I'm also loving Isobel's colour choices.
