I’ve made a little progress with my foragers journal, but not as much as I hoped as life has been somewhat hectic over the last month – however did I ever find time to work!!

Three weeks ago I had started the February page which is gorse…

This is a subscription from Pretty Fabrics and Trims, each month I get everything I need for another page. So far it’s been lovely to stitch, the instructions are nice and clear and the design is well printed on the cloth.

I’ve not done a huge amount but I have done some…

I’ve stitched the stems of the gorse using stem and straight stitch and I’m just doing the flowers with satin stitch. I’ve finished all the lettering too. I’ve got my Skipton Stitchers meeting tomorrow so I’m hoping to finish it then.

Once it is finished I then stitch it to the January one, apply wadding to the back and hand quilt it before binding the pages together with some Liberty tana lawn. I don’t think I’ll get the quilting done (or even started!) before I go on my big adventure in two weeks time, but I’ll post whatever I’ve managed to do in three weeks time.

I’m posting this as part of the Hand Quilt-a-long. Pleas follow the links to see what everyone else has been quilting:
