Quaker Diamonds WIP

Here's my progress on Quaker Diamonds, First 3 pages now complete and I'm so enjoying stitching this.

Willow Happy Dance

Here she is in 1,870,000 stitches, can't believe she is finished!

Not had much time to stitch these last few weekends, but this is progress so far.

Willow

As you can see I've got a few more stitches into this in the last week if you compare it to last weeks update. Still got thousands more to do but at least I've hit the bottom now.

Only 2 Saturdays worth of stitching so far, but couldn't put it down today, so addictive! Now put away till next weekend.

Willow update

Here's where I'm up to with willow, as you can see I've done quite a bit this week, think my stitching bug has returned!

1st weekends progress, now packed away till next weekend. Really enjoyed it so far, quite addictive!

Here goes, my first new start this year and I'm only allowing myself to stitch on this on Saturday if I've stitched some of willow during the week.

A long time since any stitching has been done by me, but look what a difference a few weekends can make - 1/4 done now!. I'm going to try and do a bit more every night and tell myself I cant start my new project until more of this is done!

Lost my stitching Bug

You may have noticed that I havent been around much, far too busy with the dogs, trailing up & down the country showing them, with a lot of success I might add, but unfortunately its come at a price - my stitching bug has left me :(  I got as far as part 7 on purple garden, and gave up! Willow is now wrapped up and packed away, and my sewing chair a general dumping ground! What happened??? I would love to get started again but just cant find the will to do it (and Facebook has a lot to answer too as well!)
Has anyone got any ideas on how to get my bug back again, hopefully I would like it back after Crufts, as I'm way too busy before then.
