BOM Progress

I've been making progress on my Christmas Stitchery BOM by Lynette Anderson. I still have a stitched border that goes all the way around the centre piece here. A tree goes up one side and Santa with eight reindeer going across the top and down the side. This is a fun project, Lynette's designs are full of every little detail. If you'd like to start your own Christmas Stitchery contact Two Thimbles Quilt Shop.

A closer look at one of the blocks. I used an aged muslin for the stitching.

I had another little road trip this week to visit my Mom. I'm so done with driving, it's time to stay home and work on my stitchery. I also have stitching on the Cheri and Barri Christmas quilt, from my visit to Buggy Barn. When will I have enough time.

    That is darling. You are right - Lynette's patterns have so much detail - they really are fun to do. Yours is turning out terrificly. When you figure out that question about time - share with us the answer - I could use a couple of extra hours every day just to sew!

    I like that you used brighter colors in your stitcheries. The stitching shows up so well in the photo. Very cute designs.

    I love it, Wendy. What a happy quilt this is going to make.

    I'm so into stitcheries these days. I find handwork so relaxing.

    Thanks for the link. I must check it out.

    How's Lula, BTW?

    I love Lynette's stitcheries, Wendy! Where do you find the aged muslin - or do you do it yourself?
    Cheers!

    Good to see the Christmas Stitchery by Lynette Anderson. I also started it, but I did the outside stitched borders first, leaving the inside stitcheries for last!. Don't know why I started there! Funny how our brains work. Your stitching looks great. Thanks for sharing.

    Can't wait to see it finished!
