A finish, and a 1st attempt!

Hello, it's been one of those weeks, glad it's nearly the weekend
I never got much time to stitch this week as we had been waiting on replacement furninture to arrive for our living room as the last delivery was damaged. I was glad to have some stitching time yesterday and today and am pleased to have finished my sampler :)

       32ct Platinum Linen with Dmc threads

Now to decide what to start now, I'm thinking a small project before I jump into a larger sampler, I will be searching through the stash pile tonight

At the weekend I was able to set up my new desk in my bedroom for to use for my sewing machine, in the past it's been in a cupboard upstairs and I had to trail it downstairs to use, so this is so much better

for my 1st project I tried to make a patchwork table runner for my new coffee table, it was harder than I thought to stitch those seems straight and it's by no means perfect, infact any good quilter will laugh at my attempts

it looked not too bad until I added those quilt lines, then it went downhill :) well I'm going to attempt to put the bias binding on and put it down to a very poor first attempt!

Sad day in our home yesterday as my Daughter lost her little furbaby to old age, he was such a sweet natured little thing, and will be sadly missed

On a brighter note I have had lovely comments on my last post which made me feel glad to be part of the blogging world again, thanks for taking the time to leave them x  and I welcome my new followers, so happy to have some :) and I'm having a lot of fun discovering new blogs and finding some that I followed a few years back

That's all from me this evening, I hope you all have a lovely weekend, take care x
