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.
