It’s three weeks since I last shared my Finery of Nature cross-stitch with you. It’s a Dimensions kit with a different picture in each quarter, I’m stitching a nest of eggs and a dragonfly at the moment, three weeks ago I was here…
Progress has been a little slow this time as I’ve been concentrating on other projects, but I’ve almost finished the wings and the nest. I think the back-stitch on this bit will make a huge difference, that will be the next part to stitch.
I’m hoping that now I’ve got this big block of stitching completed, the rest of the quarter will be fairly quick, I’ve just got a few flowers and the border to do.
This stitch-a-long is organised by Avis, we post our progress on a project every three weeks, it’s a great motivator! Please follow the links to see everyone else’s progress;
Avis, Claire, Gun, Carole, Sue, Constanze, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Cindy, Helen, Linda, Heidi, Jackie, Sunny, Hayley, Megan, Deborah, Clare, Mary Margaret, Renee, Jenny, Carmela, Jocelyn, Sharon
I’m also linking up with Kathy’s Quilts for Slow Stitching Sunday, follow the link to see lots more hand-stitching.

Every stitch brings you closer to a complete project…some weeks we get time to do more stitches than other weeks. Nice dragonfly!
