Tiny Needle Tuesday

 

My elastic order arrived so Swedish Folk Cushion finally got it's February grime catcher and a bit of the bottom border stitched. 



I usually look forward to stitching borders but I can already tell the border on Christmas Cactus is going to be a real pain. It's got too many color switches. I started it but only got a few inches before my brain cried uncle. 




I've got 11 of the Patchwork of the Crosses appliqued down. The one on the bottom right is still in progress. 




Dear Jane's pieces are all ready to be assembled but it's a bit of a puzzle. This one is called Battlefield and those HSTs are supposed to represent opposing armies so I've got to the color placement right. This may take a while.

    Nice progress. Glad your elastic arrived. I don't use Q Snaps or frames, so no grime catchers for me. I just need to make sure my hands are clean when I pick up my stitching.

    I really dislike changing colors frequently in cross-stitching but both of your pieces are coming along nicely. I really like your Crosses and Battlefield looks somewhat like a battlefield!

    Oh no now I have something else to sew. I never thought about making a grime catcher!
