I can really recommend posting about stalled projects as I am finding that weekly reporting my progress is helping me to maintain progress. My DD stitched these blocks for me when she was recovering from a prolonged and debilitating battle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I had bought every DMC thread for her on my first trip to the US in 2010 as they were a third of the price to what I pay here. She madd these as a thank you and a surprise for me but ran out of energy to finish them. Now I'm finishing them as a surprise for her. I thought she made 6 but I can only find 5 so will stitch a replacement.
I only needed to outline stitch the border flowers and add beads to the February block so that was finished in a night.
I had to stitch the border for this block for April and after a couple of nights stitching it's almost finished too.
Adding the border design adds a lot to their design. I'm enjoying finishing them and want to display them so DD 1 knows how much I appreciate her gift. I'm going to stitch the rest of the fairies too and will probably make them into a wall hanging .
I'm enjoying stitching them to stay cool rather than wrestling quilts under the machine in this heat, but on the cooler days I'm also finishing off quilts.
Hugs, Jan Mac
