It’s three weeks since I last showed you my progress on this Betsy Morgan project, I’ve been busy with Christmas makes but I have managed a bit of stitching. Three weeks ago I was here…
I’d just started the lid to my etui box. This side is in the winter colours. I’ve had to study the colours I’ve used to try and get them to match the sides as much as possible.
I’ve made a fair bit of progress as autumn and summer are now complete and I’m half way through spring. I’ve had to change some of the colours as I no longer had one or two of the variegated flosses and I’ve no idea where they came from. Hopefully they blend in enough.
This is where I am now…
I’ve a little more outline stitching to do and the rest of the spring borders, it shouldn’t take me too long. Next to be stitched is a few rows on the inside pockets and then I start the somewhat scary bit of putting it all together!
This stitch-a-long is organised by Avis from Stitching by the Sea, we post every three weeks on our own choice of projects, it’s a great way to keep motivated! If you would like to join us please contact Avis. Please follow the links to check everyone elses progress, there’s some beautiful projects to see

I don’t envy you having to put it all together but I know you’ll make a much better job of it than I would so I’m looking forward to seeing it finished.

Looking forward to seeing how this all comes together. The individual pieces are all good! Too bad you ran out of thread on this one. I am sure you will find one that will look nice to finish.

Thanks for showing us the whole piece in one shot rather than per side. 🙂 It’s looking lovely. I’d be anxious about assembling the etui after all this effort too. ❤

Good luck with assembling it. I would love to make something like this but its the assembling bit that puts me off. Normally it is so frustrating when we run out of colours but with this project changing colours on each side and so many shades in it I hardly think anyone (apart from maybe you) will ever know.

I would definitely fear the putting together part, but you have a bit of experience, so I think you will do just fine!
