Secret Stitching Sweetheart Blog Hop 2024

Happy Valentines day blogpeeps!!

It's time for the Secret Stitching Sweetheart blog Hop, hosted by Jo at http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com

I love these felted and embroidered hearts, and I do wonder, given my BFF's work with felt this last year, whether this came from her?  I don't recognise the background quilt though, so perhaps not?

I shall look forward to Hopping around to find out who posted what, and to see whose work I can guess correctly!

 

BFF SAL 14 A pink flower grows

Pink and white to fill in more of the flower tonight.

Somehow this extra fill has made the flower more real!

Conversation was about Chinese dramas, Korean boy bands and just about anything but reality, as we'd both had a tricky week in the 'real' world.

BFF SAL 14 - shades of flower and leaf

A bit of both pink and green this week.

Whilst we're enjoying this along the way, it feels like a longer process than anticipated,  we think because of the bitty nature of the blocks of colour.

BFF SAL 14 - Greeeeeeeeen!!

Lots of green for me tonight, completed some bottom leaves and dotted around the others. As I had Internet issues last week we found ourselves unable to meet, which was very frustrating as we'd both so looked forward to our session.

Enjoyed the stitch this evening,  although I did remark that I prefer the colours of my highlighted pattern better teehee!!

BFF SAL 14 - a nice dotty start

Oh it was nice to be back to our sessions this week. 

Lots of different bits of colour added tonight and felt very engaging. 

Sometimes there feels like not much left,  other times it feels a mere drop in the ocean.

BFF SAL Variations on a theme- Christmas continued

Yes, I know we did it last week,  but my brain is too tired for intense colour work from a book. So Variations again this week and a simple stitch.

I thought both of these were on 14 count Aida, but I think this week's  on the left may actually be 16 count.... ah well!

And my count was entirely off on my second attempt at Let it Snow,  so it has currently been abandoned whilst I figure out whether it gets redesigned or binned!!

Maybe a time out will suggest to me how to redesign to my satisfaction,  but as it's only a gift tag sized piece of fabric then I'm not going to stress over it!

BFF SAL Variations on a Theme - Christmas

It's the first Wednesday of the month,  so it's time for our monthly theme night. Both finished our earlier projects so something different today. 

For me, 2 of these tags from a World of Cross Stitching cover kit.
