Sneaky Stitch!

Hi Everyone

First I want to say how sad the events in Belgium have made me today, we live in such a cruel, evil world these days and I am so thankful for all of you and my stitching for some escape from the horrible events happening around us. If any of my readers are close to what has happened I hope you and your families stay safe...

As for me I have been stitching away and I am pleased to say I have another new start and finish. I started it right after my vault boy and girl but I can't share just yet...you will have to wait until the Small SAL check in next week..sorry! Unless of course you follow me on Instagram as I have posted to picture there. ;)

Here is a little sneak peek for you...

As I mentioned in my last post I was struggling to find some fabric, but finally I got some and it arrived today! So I will be having a new start tomorrow! Eek!

I will be back once I have made some progress on it and of course for the Small SAL check in.

Until next time!

Gifted Gorgeousness March 2016 - It's a Finish!

Hello everyone!

As it's the 15th it's time for the Gifted Gorgeousness check in hosted by the lovely Jo at Serendipitous Stitching.

The idea is you work on something that is a gift in some way, it could be the fabric/floss/chart was gifted to you or the final product is intended for a gift.

This year so far I have had to get the good old shoehorn out and be creative, stating this piece is for my future married self. Well that will come to an end with this check in as I have a finish!!!

Yippee!!!

Vault Boy & Girl by HappyStitchNet on Etsy

Stitched two over two on 28ct Lugana in Oatmeal by Crafty Kitten Fabrics

Start Date: 2nd January 2016

End Date: 14th March 2016

I'm so pleased with the final result! I know it's not a "traditional" wedding sampler but it is very us, we are gamer geeks to the core and if it wasn't for computer games we would never have met! I now just need to find the perfect frame then it can take pride of place in our geek room :)

For the next few months at least the GG Sal should be easier for me, as my next main project will be a baby sampler for some good friends of mine who are expecting, I just have to get the supplies together so I can begin.

Speaking of which, my evenweave of choice is Lugana but I am struggling to find just some plain white! Do any of you stitch on Jazlyn or Jobelan? What are your thoughts? How do they compare to Lugana?

Until next time!
