Siberian Gold Tigers Day 51....But, for once, it's NOT just about me!

 I have to admit progress is slow. There are a number of reasons for this.

A. I'm terrible at finishing. I always seem to cling on with every fibre of my being.

B. The last few days I've had chest pains - so sitting in my chair has been uncomfortable.

C. I've been preparing/planning my next project so it's all ready to go when I finish.

Hopefully, I'll pull my finger out and crack on shortly.

Still, I did manage to spread about 4.5 hours worth over the weekend! Yay!

So, with no further ado I now move on to my partner, Nigel's handiwork.

I've mentioned elsewhere that he's a dab hand with the sewing machine, but not a fan of cross stitch. I'm very proud to say that he's stuck with his latest cross stitch project and is making good progress.

This is 'Ice Cream Truck' from a recent issue of Cross Stitcher.

It will eventually be made into a cushion.

 

Talking of cushions....

Nigel always has his eyes open for that next amazing piece of material and, as a result, we have swatches all over the house.

Yesterday, he decided it was about time he made some with two wonderful pieces he had in his stash.

Here's the result:

FRONT:

 AND BACK:

Although they can actually go either way.

He's adorned them with his favourite red checked ribbon and a 70's retro wooden button for each side.

I think it looks great and he's done an amazing job as always.
