Spanish Sampler

I haven't updated for a few weeks because I wated to finish the second section:


A bit more progress, I'm just about halfway through this section. There won't be that much done this week because I'm out and about a lot but I'm going to try and put some stitches in every day 🤞


I didn't post yesterday as I had a migraine but a bit more done. I've also finished a whole page (yay!), only 11 left 😁 I should be able to do a lot more now that Wimbledon's finished though I also really need to do a through house tidy so that may cut into me stitching time for the next, well, six months!

The next block has started - I knew that I wouldn't get much done this past week, but it also wasn't helped by having to frog one of the backstitch motifs 🥴 The quarter stitches are really doing my head in, I think I'll need to enlarge the printout to make it much clearer. Thankfully, this section is the only one with quarters...

It looks as though I can only add another photo to the original post...

Posting today instead of tomorrow as I've finished the first section! Thank you to the three of you for the inspiration and encouragement! There'll be very little done in the next couple of weeks as I'll be sitting in front of the TV from 11am until 8ish, watching Wimbledon 😁

  6. Thanks Rachael. I'm really chuffed with it. The next section has a lot of quarter stitches, a piece of cake on evenweave but my eyes are not agreeing!

How much is that doggie jumper in the window...
