I have finished my first part of the Cross stitch sal, now I can be sent the second part. I chose to use red dmc 815 and a piece of Belfast linen. I can't remember the count and I think it is a natural colour. It's my last piece so a trip to the city may be in order to buy some more! It looks a little wonky as it needs to be pressed properly. If you want to see some of the other participants' amazing stitching go here. some of the colours selected are stunning.
Last night I managed to stitch together the hexagons for the base of my purse,
They went together quite quickly. The sugar bowl is full of all the basted hexies waiting to be put together for the sides. Hopefully I can make a start this afternoon.
A beautiful sunny day here in Melbourne so more washing is on the agenda.

Lovely cross stitch! The hexagons are looking great as always. I have seen so many beautiful hexagon projects out in blogland. For a long time I have had in mind starting to sew hexagons flowers, but so far just thoughts. One day :-)))
