I am currently quilt-free and up to date with all but the Lucky Stars BOM, so I will keep this to a simple pair.
Firstly I am going to complete this...
I am so close; waiting on the finishing touches which should arrive in the next couple of days, and it could be completed before Retreat. It won't be coming with me though - I am trying to keep the baggage to the minimum, (trolley bag ordered), and I am on wind-down now; so much school and after-school stuff between now and then, I have little time for anything else, except a couple of teacher gifts, but I haven't even started those yet.
My other goal is to get my KISS tapestry finished...
This has sat neglected for over a year; Lynne has pushed me to pick up the wool again, so this is going to be my slow summer project. I think it has languished mainly because it doesn't make good viewing for you guys. But I am putting my foot down, and going to finish it!! I will try not to bore you too much - maybe keep it to a weekly update, but it will be done, oh yes, it will be done.
I will inevitably have all my Retreat makes to finish afterwards, along with Bee blocks, and it will be my month in Stitch Tease in September, so there will be plenty of other things to fill the time over the holidays!
Are you linking up? I love the focus the FAL gives, and the confirmation that you are not alone in the unfinished stakes!
I will be so disappointed if I don't complete these, so regular heckling is required please! Thanking you in advance xxx
A very doable list. I love the idea of the tapestry and keep thinking I should try one...
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sure that there will be no heckling needed for you.You'll have these done in no time.
ReplyDeleteHeckling, hey? Now get on with that tapestry!
ReplyDeleteThis is great, I love the colours and the tapestry will be good to keep you busy :) I bet your kids teachers love waiting to see what they get from from you at the end of the year!
ReplyDeleteThe tapestry is lovely, I have seen that pattern and wanted to make it. I hope you share it often.
ReplyDeleteimportant struggling to physically get into the sewing room (too much junk) and there seems to be less and less time, but roll on summer hols. - 11 more alarm clock mornings!
ReplyDeleteimportant? no, * I'm*!!!!!!
DeleteI have a tapestry (to be a cushion) that I started when I was pregnant (so nearly 3 years ago) that is quite similar and I still haven't got through a third of it! You have a groovy frame thingy though that looks very useful. I hope you fair better than me with it!
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest H, i think you've chickened out there, but then I guess the kids are off for a big chunk of that time!;o). Good makes though, and looking forward to seeing them progres and finish. x
ReplyDeleteWe'll heckle any chance we get, miss. xx Listen, a short list will keep you focused. I'm thinking of taking the same path with a list of 3. Well done making a commitment to see these through.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see more of that needlepoint - it's a perfect 'sitting in the garden while the bairns play in the paddling pool' project. Good luck xx
ReplyDeleteI good doable list! YOU CAN DO IT!
ReplyDeleteI can not even imagine being that caught up. You are awesome and I know you will get these two things finished!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have Hugs to finish and my friend has kiss. I will follow your progress with interest.
ReplyDeleteAww, you got me so excited thinking that tapestry was going to be all rock and roll and black and white... :oD
ReplyDeleteGone for my longest list yet Hadley - opposite approach!
