6 Fat Men!

I had to start this one cos I'm so in love with it! I decided to stitch them all on one piece of linen. I'm using 32ct R&R Autumn Leaves (or is it Antique Cotton? I can't remember) which I had in my stash. It just fits on a fat quarter so that's handy. :) I'm also using my Q snaps which is a bit of a change for me but it slows me down somewhat. Sometimes I take it off to go back to my 'in hand' stitching.


This is what I've done so far (in about a week or so).

Another ornament for the finishing pile

My latest effort for the finishing pile. I suppose now that it's November I'll have to get onto that too. :)


Now that this one is finished I can start the 6 Fat Men series. I'm planning on stitching them on one piece of fabric. Just need a couple more threads & I'm set to go. Should be fun!

But wait...there's more

Yes, I'm still stitching! This is another ornament from the 2010 JCS ornament edition that I kitted up a couple of weekends ago. It took a while to do all that over 1 especially when I had to frog a bit but I'm loving the end result.

Now I need to find something else to stitch. I'm off on Sunday to a friend's place for a stitchin' and eatin' and chattin' day. We haven't had a GTG since the traditional yearly Lindt cafe visit back in June so we're way overdue. Can't wait.
