Quaker Friendship round robin

Last night I finished up my section of Mindi's RR. This sampler has a real vintage look to it and I am thinking of using this silk (HDF* Raisin Wine) for my Beatrix Potter Quaker sampler when I eventually get round to starting it.

Yesterday, I started my scissor pocket for the Monthly Finishing Challenge, not once, not twice but three times. I think I am fated with this one but I have stitched the border in ecru perle no 12 and now have to decide what to put inside it and what floss to use. The only thing I do know is the finish!

I belong to a Lotto Bonus Ball draw and last night my number came up so I have won the princely sum of £33. My number is extremely lucky for me as I have won this draw on quite a few occasions. I just need those elusive other balls to come up as well - sigh - maybe one day.

Thanks for visiting

Take care

Mindi's RR looks fabulous! You're really tempting me to start my BP, as I'm using that same colour thread.

Congrats on the Lotto win too.

That is a pretty color silk and would be nice for the BP sampler! (What does HDF stand for?)
