Here is the lovely napkin I have received from Wendy on the XStitch Monthly group for the food themed napkin exchange, she couldn't have picked a better design as I LOVE strawberries, they are the prettiest fruit ever and just cheer me up whenever I see them...they don't half taste good too...especially with a bit of sugar and extra thick cream...lol!
....and here is the napkin I have sent Wendy, a grape on a vine, stitched on a ready made napkin with DMC threads, I used waste canvas for the first time and found it quite simple...I discovered the trick is to tack it on round the edges and through the centre too... I hope Wendy likes it.
Not a great picture as the light is not that good today, but here is the start of the Patchwork birth sample for pink bump...it is on palest pink 28c jobelan evenweave DMC threads, in lilacs, mauves and pinks with a pastel green thrown in for a contrast. I hope to complete it before Martha arrives in November, but the rate I am stitching at the moment I don't hold out much hope...lol.
Finally here is my restarted Papillion Sampler, I decided to challenge myself by doing the speciality stitch version instead and I am enjoying it, it is taking me longer than usual and I have had numerous visits from Mr Frog, but I am perservering....
I have a second date tonight...so I will keep you posted...
Hugs
