Poppy Patchwork


My little bit of this big World

Watch this space

My stash arrived yesterday, I have never used threads such as these before, so I am excited, the pattern is not a cross stitch, but a short long stitch, so it should be a very quick pattern. I have not done any long stitch since I was a child.

We have done every thing in the garden,
my Acer and herb garden is looking colourful.

We have prepared the ground for the lawn, Kev worked yesterday morning, so by early afternoon, when we went shopping for the lawn turf, all the best had gone, we will pop out tomorrow to see if anywhere has new stock in. If not we plan to get out early next Saturday. So sometime soon we will have a lawn in our garden.

If where you are it's Mother Day, I hope you have a good day with your families, here we have another Bank Holiday Monday off, which is good, I plan to spend the day resting and sewing.

Yesterday I was very tired, so both daughters came over with Joshy and Sammy, and Steve Fliss's hubby, we had a quiet BBQ in the garden, well not that quiet, Josh is almost 6 now!

Kev is on a test drive with Su, she is still looking at new cars, later we hope to go out on the bike, the sun is shinning here, not as hot as it has been, but still sunny.

  2. I love using those threads. Tip: Use only about 18" of thread other wise it splits in the eye of the needle.

  3. You're flower garden is so lovely. I wish I had a garden to grow flowers in. Looking forward to seeing your long stitch project develop.
