Stitchery in Progress 2025

Year four of Fettle those Finishes! My own little stitching daemon, Miss Lizzie and the 'Prod Squad' use their perfectly pointy prodding sticks along with the *hard stares* to discourage too much slacking throughout the year. When a finish is fettled there are, of course, big *Hurrahs*, *Waving of Pom Poms* & *Jigs* from everyone.

Come back every month to see how my projects are progressing, and check out the link above for THE LIST 2025:

Did I enjoy the river cruise? Yes I did. Very comfortable boat, lots of interesting places to visit, lots of eating and drinking (thank goodness for baggy trousers!) and lots of time to relax watching the scenery float by while I could do a bit of stitching. I went prepared with a photo of Little Moreton Hall (from our August jolly) printed on to calico for a quick bit of stitching for the final piece in the travelling books series. Managed to finish the handstitching while away, so all it needed on getting home was the backing and machine stitched edge. Hurrah!! It's a fettled finish! ddoes a jig and waves pom poms.

Only a teeny tiny bit of progress on the Ushaw square though. I need to crack on with this now we are home as i have to hand it in on 11th October...

At the TAS-2 stitch group we are currently working towards our 2026 exhibition. Part of this is a group project to produce a stitched impression of the early summer garden at Ushaw House. Click on the link to view the TAS-2 web page for the full size image we are using for the Ushaw Project 2026. My square is the very bottom right hand corner.

This is it for September stitching - Life is a bit bumpy at the moment! Lets hope October brings a bit of improvement. The grandgirlies have requested special animals for Chrissymouse it would be good if they are at least cut out by the end of the month...
