Tourmaker / Tour de France bracelet / Scrunchie

I've got some scraps leftover so I got braiding. Added some yellow jumper (#nedboulting) to theme it up

Had enough for a little scrunchie too

Delivered ...

and it looks nearly as good as the engaged couple in its new home. And yes engagement quilt is a thing before you say anything.

Piecing and burning

I'm doing some floral panelled curtains, they are trimmed with lilac and having a deep purply red top.  Leaves lots of decorating options for their new owner but will go with the current cream.

And here's our new burner in action. Toasty.

Its coming along

Mary is starting to appear, the combination of blues is good. Back to counting, counting, counting ......

Appearing

Really liking the way that this is gradually coming to life. It's a bit of a shame that the outline suggestions get filled in as I really like them

Todays progress

This is a bit of Joseph, at the current rate I predict finishing this as my DH retires. I did 3 lots of unpicking as I learn.

Prepping ready to go

Not done counted cross stitch before so I wanted to make sure I had it all ready to go. It'll make things as easy as possible hopefully!

Patchwork detail cushion

An upcycle project for no3 DD, her colour scheme is grey & burgundy. Its 23 x 19 so nearly pillowsize and filled with stuffing, foam chips & scraps. It's very comfy and looks chunky.

Edging in cross stitch

Not far off finished and thus bather is still my favourite. It really reminds me of someone..... me!

The piece needs its channels for hanging putting on and the final pieces appliqueing on.

Binding, binding, binding ...

It's a laborious part of the process but as it's the last one I always get a bit excited when reach this stage.

I've finished the huts quilting and have the shapes & writing ready to be appliqued on.
