Next card complete and first quilt started

<- Here's the latest addition to the card collection.

And here ->

are the squares all cut out for the baby cot/crib quilt. The smaller, turquoise ones at the front will be made into 2 regular sized squares. The scrap of fabric I had in that colour (which I really wanted to use) wasn't wide enough, so I'm having 2 squares that are different from the rest. If it looks naff, I'll sub in two other coloured ones. This will be my first stab at quilting, but it doesn't look like a difficult pattern. I'll need to get some nice fabirc for the backing of it soon as it's to be done by next Saturday ready for handover on the Sunday. After that, I can relax and finish the dog. The next 'due bys' aren't needed until July, then September.

"And here we are again for 'Show and Tell'"

Feel like Sally Brown doing this! That's Charlie Brown's lil' sister, btw!! Love 'Peanuts'.=)

So, a few more older finishes before I get stuck into finishing off all the WIPs and WTBSUs ('waiting to be sewn up's):

Here's the Victoria Sampler 'Heart to Heart' friendship sampler design I adapted a bit and made into an anniversary bellpull, (with a wonky bottom, rats!), and the largest hardanger card I ever stitched, which is about A4 sized!!

I just ordered some goldwork threads for my friend's wedding present, a 'Welcome' sign for their porch done in goldwork with a silk-shaded flower. Yup, real silk too.=)

Four new cards!

So, here are three bargello heart cards, all stitched with Anchor pearl cotton #5 and co-irdinating Caron Watercolour threads.

Here's another one embellished with some ribbon and bead-work. Not sure what this one will be used for yet, as the engagement I've made it to congratulate, might not have happened! If it has and I'm told, I'll send it!!!!!!

None of them mounted well as they were done on Bellana fabric which warps and pulls like mad. Haven't put so much as a single stitch into anything since last posting. Been busy doing happy housework and clearing out my wardrobe and making space for new things....... (I should be so lucky!)
