Block 9 is done!




The last post for June is very exciting! I completed Block 9 yesterday, among other things...(the cleaning crew didnt come again over the weekend, so I had to do the work myself LOL!) I didnt know what to expect when stitching this block, looking at the picture, and looking at the pattern, it is always a nice surprise. The 3-d effect is terrific with the minimal backstitching. You can almost hear the horses walking down the street, past the refreshing fountain!

Today, I thought I would start block 12, but might 'block out' 10, 11 & 12, so that I can just stitch inside. That would be an easy thing to complete for sure. It is nice to see that all 12 will fit on the fabric too, not that I doubted that it would, (a few gals I showed my WIP asked, are you sure???!!!) but at this point, it wouldnt matter much; I would be LIVID though if it didnt! Yes, the correct size linen is the whole battle!

I was on target to get this piece done this month, but as you can see, that is far from happening! There is always next month. Stay tuned!!!

  2. Oh my gosh! I am so loving your progress on this piece. The colors and your stitching are fantastic. Everytime I see yours I kick myself (hard) for not working on this instead of Shores. It will definitely be my next HRH piece. Can't wait to see another progress picture.
