So where did the weekend go?
So where did the weekend go?
On Saturday I called into our local hospice charity shop with some items I had de-cluttered and was leaving when I spotted a cute white wooden photo box which I just couldn't leave behind. I am thinking that instead of photos I may use it to store small charts like Lizzie Kate snippets. I also found a nice frame for the photo we bought last week of my GD's dance class.
Sunday was a lovely day with my parents, brother and sister in law coming over for a traditional Sunday roast lunch - roast beef, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, 5 different veg and 4 different puddings. All washed down with lots of chat and "putting the world to rights". So not much time for stitching.
I did manage some more work on my Jane Austen piece - I only have 2 sides of the border to do and it's finished. I have loved stitching this piece as it combines 2 of my passions - stitching and reading. I have in mind that I would like to stitch some other Jane Austen themed pieces and then make them into a quilt. Just an idea at the moment.... I do have some other patterns including some I bought from an Etsy store called WestWindCrossStitch. I think this may be the next one I stitch

Reverse stitching blues
Last night I was happily working on a Jane Austen Sampler SAL piece and was just about to start stitching the Z in the alphabet line when I realised that there was going to be a gap at the end of the row. With trepidation I looked back and saw that I had missed the V. So nothing for it but to "reverse stitch" which always seems to take longer than the original stitching.
I was not a happy bunny.
Here is the piece I was stitching on before I made the mistake
I didn't take a photo of the mistake but hope to be able to post an updated photo with all the letters soon.
The pattern was kindly provided on this blog where you can various versions
