February seems to have whizzed by, this last week especially. And now it is the 1st of March. The sun is shining! Well to be fair this is the third day in a row of sunshine and it looks set to continue for the next week. We have had a couple of very white frosty mornings - but I really don't mind when it is followed by sunshine.
My Stitch Journal has progressed this week - this was my week.
And here is the month of February.
I now have some nice new threads to use in my journal as I have opened up a few of the jars that have been stashed in my airing cupboard since the beginning of the month. Very happy with these!
This months Chookshed Challenge number is #2 which is to turn last years Stitch Journal pages into a book and it is a big one. As I have secret stitching to do this month and I would like to complete the selvedge bag, I have swapped it for my #9 which is this lavender bag kit which I picked up for peanuts at a local house clearance warehouse. Shouldn't take me very long and it will be nice to have it made and in use.
Right, I had better get cracking, lots to do this month including the final quilting on Wings and Pretty Things.
See you next week.
Hi Lin, is there a post you show how you dye your onion thread. It sounds very interesting….
ReplyDeleteYour Stitch Journals are so beautifully done. I'm sure you've probably already been asked and answered, but are you following directions or suggestions from somewhere (where?) or are you just doing this all on your own? It is so lovely, Lin.
ReplyDeleteYour dyed threads look amazing. Love seeing your stitch journal. Have fun with all that you do in March.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitcheries and those thread colours are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love how the threads came out.... what a fun way to get your own colours.... The stitch journal is looking wonderful.... My son said he was happy to see signs of Spring and sent a lovely sunny picture from the farm...
