BFF more RAL

Random Along for the uninitiated!

Continuing my baby sampler project..a short session this week as I've been on an intensive training course at work and my brain is battered!

Each corner got some work, whether to add work to the border or the checkered design.   And a single part of the bottom green border.   Excuse the shadows but tired photos are better than none I think!!

I'm working the border before Stitching is complete on the main pattern.  This is because the seemingly never ending border on the Big Tree project felt like it was a chore and I just wanted to be done, so this is an attempt to protect myself from that.

BFF RAL

I have a time-bound piece which I need to get finished for Christmas,  so this week was a RAL (random along)

A good chunk of border filling

And the main body of a toy giraffe with wheels (as yet absent).

This is another Durene Jones pattern, I already completed the other Toy Shelf sampler for baby's sister a few years ago.  Somehow I felt it appropriate to have the same but different for my nephew.

Halloween Linkup

Happy Halloween blogpeeps!

Today's post comes courtesy of Jo from Serendipitous Stitching.   Life has prevented the usual full Blog Hop this year but she is graciously still hosting us all with a LinkUp.. which is almost as good, really!

This is a WIP on a Durene Jones Halloween SAL.   Progress on many of my own WIPs has somewhat stalled this year, so I give you one Grim Reaper and a half complete Zombie!  Maybe by next Halloween I will be done!
