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 :-)

Feb 2015

This is Sam's current project, he's a gorgeous snowman, but I'm a terrible blogger and can't remember where it's from, I have a feeling he's from a magazine, but that's the best I can come up with.

 Susie has been working on this cute little jumper for a nephew for a while and the end is in sight, and we're all very impressed to see it happening.

Finally we have Woodland Fairy from Mirabilia which is Isobel's project, I'm completely in love with it, and it's making me want to start my first Mirabilia, and it's all the more impressive when you realise that Isobel is colour blind, I don't know how she does it!

January 2015

 I know, I am dreadful at keeping this blog up to date, but it's definitely by fault and not the groups fault, so, here are so little update posts of everything we're working on.
I'm going to be cheeky and short with mine, this is Brave from Cloudsfactory, although I'm not very far on it at the moment!

Here's Anne's current project, she's developed a recent addiction to Elizabeth Bradley's pattern, and they're stitching up fantastically, this will soon be a stunning bell pull.

A bit of a catch up

 I am actually the world's worth blogger, it is apparently a year since I last posted, anyway, here we have some progress pictures of what has been going on recently.

Firstly we have Isobel's lovely project, which will be a beautiful snowy selection of birdhouses, they're very cute!

Apparently Rena was determined that we needed some kind of action shot, so here we have yours truly working on my Noah's Ark project, where there are many pretty colours 

 Sam has been wading through the greens in the tree but has decided to work on the tractor so she could have some colour and variety, and I think she may have stitched most of the tractor this week, can't believe how much she managed to do.

Sarah's working on some lovely hand embroidery, which fascinates me as I have no concept of how you make something this pretty without a pattern, I would probably just make some kind of shmush

Karen shows a bit of variety where she's doing some fascinating beading. There's a chance that we all sat and stared at her when she started this as we hadn't seen anyone working on one of these before and were all fascinated. 

And finally we have Rena's lovely crotched flowers. She doesn't use a pattern to make this, just works away and beautiful flowers appear, I don't know how she does it but they look fantastic, can you guess what she's going to do with them?

If you'd like to join us then drop me a message, we meet in Harrogate twice a month!
