Apologies for being so quiet on here, our building work still isn’t finished, though yesterday we had our first bath and cooked a roast dinner in the new oven…so things are moving forward! Any spare time I have had has been spent stitching entries for the Otley Show next week – I rashly entered ten different classes, I’ve just one left to make which may or may not get made!
So, my butterfly alphabet, I have made a little progress, just a little, but as I always say, progress is progress!
Three weeks ago I had just finished the first row, letters A to G…
I’ve started the letter H, just not quite finished it! My satin stitch doesn’t seem to be improving much, it’s a good job this isn’t for a competition! I’m enjoying stitching it and that’s what matters.
Hopefully next time I’ll have made a bit more progress, and I’ll have told you what I have been making over the last month.
Avis organises this stitch-a-long, we post our progress every three weeks, hopefully everyone else has made better progress than me, please follow the links to see what everyone has been stitching.

These are lovely letters Margaret. Home renovations are always so inconvenient aren’t they? What are you having done?

Your letter H looks pretty. I have always struggled with satin stitch also despite having watched several videos in the hopes of improving. Good luck with your show entries.

This is such a pretty design, I always have little nibbles in the stitching when I do satin stitching.
