spending time down in the garden....

This week I have been busy stitching. Boy was there a lot of it!
The main stitched block of Block two is done. I have changed some of the colours to suit my fabrics and the butterflies are softer than the red ones on the pattern. I am happy with most of it. Now I just need to cut up and trace the smaller stitchery blocks and I should be well on target for this month.



and another sneak peak.......
Not convinced about the handkerchief linen as it wrinkles so easily. Have other people found this? This was stitched using an iron on transfer and is visible in some places. It should fade with time or washing according to the instructions. I am hoping so!
Off this afternoon to get some accessories to finish one of my swap gifts.... The end of the month doesn't seem all that far away!
Hope you have a lovely weekend with lots of craftiness.

    It is beautiful. I wondered about the linen. That would be frustrating. Thank you for sharing that because it has been on my list to by and try but it is also expensive.

    The colours are fantastic - I love the little butterflies. You are doing an amazing job on this one.
    Enjoy the quiet in your garden.
    I am not fussed about working on Hanky linen, me and it just don't seem to get along at all.
