WIP Wednesday! And a Freebie Because... Freebie!

A bit late in the day but still on Wednesday... the first WIP Wednesday post in a long while. I've just been too busy and I have to admit for a quick update Instagram has been easier to do than a blog post.


The first of my WIP's is the Weavers Tapestry Band Sampler, the last time you saw it there was just the border stitched. Now it's got the first of the strips stitched and from now on there will be a bit of progress on this every week.

Next up is the NYE Mystery SAL - I'm working on the back with an adjusted pattern, which, as I thought you might like it too, I have made into a pdf and will share! It's going to become a biscornu, but the pattern would work well for a pincushion, ornament or anything really.

You can download the back pattern here

 

I started stitching this before I got the idea of doing the NYE Mystery SAL and it got set aside quite rapidly as I needed the time I was going to use to stitch to prepare all the patterns required for the SAL. It's stitched with Kreinik #4 very fine braid in 002J Japan gold and 3533 blue/purple - it's next in line to get finished after the NYE SAL and next week's Weavers Tapestry strip.

This is the December Ornament of the Month - Tanzanite that I started for one of my fiancé's daughters - not finished yet but much stuff got in the way - I need to make 3 in total, one for each of his daughters.

That's all for this week - I'll see you Friday for the next Friday freebie - which is going to be the first of this year's Ornaments of the Month!
