These three weeks seem to fly by, last time I showed you my Finery of Nature cross-stitch I was skipping merrily round the room having completed the third quarter…
It took me a while to get going on this final quarter, as I was concentrating on finishing my Zen SAL and my Anthea SAL. However, this week I’ve made pretty good progress. I’ve completed the cross-stitch of one butterfly,just got all the back-stitching to do. I’ve also started the second butterfly which is a much brighter affair in gold, turquoise and black!
Hopefully in three weeks time I’ll have finished this butterfly and maybe some of the flowers!
This stitch-a-long is organised by Avis, we publish our progress every three weeks, which is just enough time to keep you motivated! If you would like to join us please send Avis a message, in the meantime please follow the links to see what everyone else is sharing.

All the lovely colours in this must spur you on to the finish. All the motifs are a nice size to hold interest for as long as they need to.
