Experiment complete
I pulled myself away from the birds for long enough this afternoon to bind my experimental quilt: I “cheated” and machine-sewed the binding (otherwise it would have taken me weeks to hand-sew all that!), and there’s a few wee bits where it didn’t quite catch properly so I really should go back and re-do those…
Busy weekend
aven’t had much time to work on my quilt, because the weekend has been so full of other stuff. I’ve got about a quarter of it sewn together though, so that’s a start. Yesterday’s outing was to Ashburton with Lytteltonwitch. She’d heard there was a “Stash Re-hash” market being held, which promised lots of cheap…

Ok, so maybe I have

Except that, as always, I forgot just how much time cross-stitch takes (about an hour per letter, in case you were…
Reporting in
Definitely a lot easier to see what I’m doing! I can actually backtrack along lines of stitching without having to guess whether I’m staying on the same line or not (of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t go off the lines occasionally still (as you can tell above!), but that’s more about getting my speed…

I like the last one too!
They are ALL so interesting!
You must have a mathematical mind. . . I would never figure all that out!
The last one, definitely the last one.
That is SERIOUSLY impressive though, I love it…. the mental sparks are flying… GAH! I have too many PHDs already, can’t possibly start a new project. WANT to though!
I like the 4 squares in the middle and diamond shaped from your previous post best, I think. So pretty 🙂
Last one for me too! You are one clever little kitten. Well done and Happy New Year.
