More January stitching

A few years ago one of my sisters and I brought `A Gardeners Journal` book with kit of fabric and threads. These ended up in our cupboards,so this year we thought we would start them as our SAL.  First block in January. My sister doesn`t have a blog. Here is my block finished.

 Really pleased with the colours and the way my stitching is. Hope my sisters colours are just as nice.

This is progress on my Mystery Quilt from `The Country Yard` which I started last year.I`ve placed the blocks the way I think they will go. Nearing the end so should know layout soon. Have loved stitching with `Cottage Garden Threads` #801 Hyssop. Plus the fabrics just go so well.

Progress on `Margaret Cottam` is slow, as you can see I started 2011.This year I`ve stitched the tree and the mans boots.My friend Katrina helped me buy this through Anita.  Part 1 came early December which I imediately started,having to stop for my Christmas finishes. Part 2 arrived late December and part 3 (the final) came early this month. As I` m still working on part 1 the others are away in my wallunit waiting. As you can see I`ve stitched Maggy`s Key. Have only to put the loops on so can use symbals on this little needle cushion properly. I`ve enjoyed sitching and putting that together. It will go with my BBDs needle cushions when sampler finished. Will show progress as time goes on.

 Recently we went to see our youngest daughter and our two delightful grandchildren. Here they are enjoying there time with Gampop, plus Stella the kitten is in on the act too.There was giggles over that. Stella was so funny. Hubby was so pleased he had thick soxs on.

Well must away or my stitching will not get done before the night time chores need doing.

Thanks for your visit and you enjoyed my blog.

Happy Stitching, Clare.
