I’ve made a little progress with my violets, but not huge, it’s still not firing me up so it’s usually my last choice of something to do on an evening! This is a kit from Caroline Zoob, it’s a beautiful design, but I think the instructions are not quite as specific as I’d like. Anyway, three weeks ago this was my embroidery…

I’m still working on the leaves, this may be part of the problem, maybe I need to do a few flowers, at least those which are no where near leaves. I know with satin stitch or long and short stitch the background is stitched before the foreground, so I understand why the instructions say stitch the leaves first…they’re just not very exciting! Anyway, here’s my progress, or lack of it!

I think I might do a couple of buds and flowers, then I might feel I’m making progress and feel encouraged to pick it up more…watch this space!

This stitch-a-long is organised by Avis, we share our progress (or lack of it!) on our chosen project every three weeks. Please follow the links to see what everyone else has been stitching.
