WIPW - Progress In Spite Of Easter Holiday

Although work to make Easter a festive holiday within our ordinary work week (Easter is not a national holiday in Japan)  and preparations to tend to overseas visitors took up a lot of my time, I managed to make some things to report for Work In Progress Wednesday.


Hexablooms

By chance, I found two blocks that had been mislaid in a box. So I only needed to make eight blocks to reach the weekly quota of ten hexagon flowers.

The total is now 360, which means there are 17 left to make. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!



Sunday Stitch School Stitch Sampler

1/3 of the sampler has now been strewn with blue sequins.


Bookmark

Filling in the cross stitching on the bookmark progresses at a snail's pace.

Sunday Stitch School - Easter Break

There is no new stitch today. Blame it on the fact that I have taken an Easter Break. My needle is happy to take a break, too.


See you for a new lesson next Sunday.

Homework - Not Reay To Hand In

I'm lagging behind and can not hand in my finished homework today. Hopefully it will be completed by next Friday.

I have drawn the outlines, sandwiched and basted the layers, but not yet started the actual quilting/embroidery.

 It's Wednesday, so time for a Work In Progress Wednesday report.


Hexablooms

I made another ten, and now have 350 blocks.

More blue sequins found their way between the different stitch sections.


Cross Stitch Bookmark

A few new stitches have been added. I am sure you still can not detect what motif I am stitching!



Birthday Card

I am making another birthday card but can not show any details yet.
