I suppose I should have predicted that three posts in six days would result in a blogging blackout but I didn't.  I bet some of you did though, didn't you?! Here's what I've been up to: I'm going to intending to finish off the lovely cushion from Katy (I think this project is a veteran of the FAL list!), make my first ever foundation pieced block into a block keeper/stitching book (using Cathi's examples  as inspiration) and, just for laughs, see how far I can get with a double bed-sized blue and white nine patch and snowball quilt.  (Not as far as a finish, I don't think, but miracles do happen!) I've already got a finish! (No, not the quilt!) The front. You can see a photo of the back here . Inside Rolled and tied. I'm about to start a new hand piecing project (no, I haven't finished joining my hexies together yet!) and I'm going to need somewhere to keep all the pieces because there's no way I'm...

In January I linked up with the Finish-A-Long (find my Q1 list  here ) and put three things on my list.  It's now time to link up again and declare my finishes, so here goes! 2. (I'm saving the first item on the list for later in the post 'cos it's the one you haven't seen!)   Finish my stumpwork anemone - prepare the detached petals and attach to the flower and then mount on a canvas block.   Finished !! Now living at my parents' house, in a cupboard, I think!! 3. Finish and block the mystery knitting.  ('Mystery' because I couldn't post a photo without spoiling a surprise.  Fortunately, Our Dear Leader is very accommodating and let me email her a secret photo, to prove the project had indeed been started.)   Here's Deb 's scarf, all finished ! 1. Finish joining my Marmalade hexies (generously donated by Leanne aka Our Dear Leader) and make into a cushion, inspired by this gorgeous cushion .  Finished! It does...

I haven't done much stitching this month (I've not been well) but I suspect that I'll be able to do my usual smoke and mirrors trick and make it look like a lot!  Let's face it, I do that most months! I've mainly been stitching my Summersville squares, because that was the only thing I could really concentrate on for most of the month!  It's been a case of 'do a dozen stitches and then wander off for a cup of tea' for the large part but it's amazing how much you can get done that way.  Before March started I'd already embroidered these squares but don't seem to have blogged about them: Square one - my first car was apple green but, sadly, it didn't have pink tyres... And Yvonne is moving into the house with the cross stitch roof any day now! Square two - the sun is filled with colonial knots and has a lovely texture. Square three - Nicky 's called dibs on the top floor flat of the multicoloured block, she...
