Catching up

When I tidied the cupboard I found a few projects I'd forgotten about...










(See the marks on the door?
They are the measurements of the Grandies each time they visited...)








Remember this one Ellyn?
It only needed to be sandwiched and quilted.  All done now.


Also a cross stitch I started some 15 years ago..









I love doing cross stitch but I'm sew slow...

Will leave it out and just do a little at a time...



Still working on Bonnie's "On Ringo Lake" ..   Have been joining the pieces into blocks but look what I did !!!


Some reverse sewing needed.. Grrr!!  The one on the left is the wrong way...

This is a Mystery Medallion I joined on FB  ( sorry Chooky )


We did the center the first month and the ribbon row was this months...

Must away now and shift the sprinkler....

Happy Stitching

  1. The cabinet looks so tidy now!! We kept a board with the children's height too, but I love the idea of the grandchildren.

    I sort of like the wrong way RL block. I did that on one of mine too.

    The cross stitching is so relaxing, but like you, I am slow too. Though I do enjoy it.

    Your Mystery Medallion looks great. Pretty colors.

  5. Well done on your lovely neat cupboard:) it is a lovely feeling seeing everything all neat and tidy! How wonderful to find those lovely surprises hiding away. Set yourself a target of 20 or so stitches a day on the cross stitch and you will get it finished:)

  7. LOL! That's the problem with cleaning and organizing. There are always extra little projects tucked away that you had forgotten. But just look at the progress you're making!

  8. That's a very detailed cross stitch - cant rush those things! unpicking cross stitching is a real pain. Love the idea of the grandies measurements in the cupboard - at least you can keep the door if you remodel/revamp or move....
    Your Mystery medallion has given me an idea for something I need to do . . .Thanks

  14. The cross stitch project is huge and looks lovely, good luck with it. Either block could be right, very understandable error. Congratulations on the very tidy cupboard!
