IHSW progress....

A little bit of stitching here and there - how did you all go?

I have finally picked up one of my favourite projects again - Cinderella by Mirabilia Designs.  I do love working on her.  The blue fabbie is a dream to stitch on and the colours are so sweet.  I did a bit more of her dress and lots on the background castle (second pic). (but sorry about the lack of ironing - I took these pics this morning just before I dashed off to work.)



I also did some more  satin stitch on The Faerie Queene and the little bit of brown where the needle and thread are is the start of some one over one stitching.

Lastly, I started this Easter freebie design from sub rosa, she has some lovely free designs on her blog, well worth a visit!


Can you believe that I stitched about a dozen stitches on this and still had to frog!  So, this is Start #2. lol! (Not sure if I like this fabbie - it has a strange open weave).


Well, that is all from me for now,

hugs,

Cinderella is going to be a stunning piece when finished. I went looking at your past posts and you are really coming along on it. I hope the frogs stay away so you can finish it without too much trouble.
I have to ask....when Furio sits on your lap while you stitch, doesn't he chase your thread while it disappears in and out of the fabric? I can just see it! I don't have any pets so I suppose you could say I have a childlike curiosity about these things.

Looks beautiful. Can't wait to see how Cinderella will turn out.

Cinderella's dress looks beautiful! You can tell Peggy Lee (above) that my cats sit on my lap whenever I'm stitching, and they never grab for the floss as it's going in and out of the fabric... well, unless I drop it right on their face!

Thanks for the link to the Easter chick freebie. It's very cute!

Cinderella looks great, I do love stitching Nora's fabrics! They are so realistic, I can imagine her designing with a great swathe of fabric draped over the room!
