This is my stitching on Clare's RR. As you can see she has carefully stitched out where she wants each piece sited, where as I just said leave a couple of stitches between each box and I am trusting my fellow stitchers will just do that! LOL
I am sure it will be fine. Clare's is to be a table cloth so it will certainly be a topic of conversation. Mine is to be a cushion in our conservatory. I think this is quite exciting.. This piece left Nuneaton for US in January and now it is ready for me to post on to Jaclyn in Lancs.
And here is my Summer Celtic Lady, I have completed the motifs down the one side apart from the beads, I can't decide whether to stitch the motifs down the other side or start the' lady.' I do like to be organised so I will probably do some of the motifs down the other side before I start the lady.
And this is my 'Winter' by Rose Swalwel, It is growing very very slowly. as although its aida it is 16 count so quite fine. Every section is stitched so inbetween the holly leaves, berries, hedge parsley skeletons, there is a half stitch in one thread so it is taking time. I do like it, but I am going to start a small design as well, as to be honest stitching pale grey and very pale blue in single thread is eye straining even with my lamp so I need something easier to see in the evenings.
I am pleased with my progress as now the weather has warmed up slightly (at last ) I am busy in the garden and have a lot of seedlings to pot on.. Roll on summer!
Happy stitching all....
And hope the weather has turned warmer where you are too.

You've been quite busy!
Lovely progress pictures. They are all coming along nicely.
You should be pleased - your progress on both looks wonderful!
Lovely work - well done. Hope you have had a happy easter. Michelle x
Clare's RR looks lovely, i'm sure yours will be fine. The celtic is growing really fast.
Your 'winter' project sounds very much like my Irish Garden, i really need to concentrate on the quarter stitches and there is so much backstitching in the flowers so no TV and stitching at the same time on this one.
I love all of you stitching projects,you are very talented! :)
I have always a big project
(or two) and some easier smaller projects to do at the same time.
At the evenings I stich the easier one ,now I am almost done
the free Kit from the newest issue of World Of Cross Stitching.
It is a cute Lickle Ted with a yellow flower.
The rr looks lovely.It's nice to have different things to stitch on.
It all looks beautiful Chris - you are certainly very talented and obviously have a lot of patience. A
I like Clare's idea for the RR - beautifully stitched. Your WIP's are looking lovely too. Had a few really nice days.... & it's just spoilt itself with some rain. :0)
