tablecloth progess

 This was the centre of the tablecloth at the start of the year.

As you can see I have made good progress over the year.

I am hoping to continue the trend this year.

Late April progress

I spent three days last week at a quilting retreat. As you can see by the photos, it was a beautiful place to get some stitching done.

I am still loving stitching the tablecloth.

I stitched some more hearts along the edge, some of the straight borders outside the hearts, filled in the honeycomb pattern at the edge and started filling in down the centre.

Mid April progress

I am really happy with the progress I have made this fortnight on my tablecloth.

The honeycomb panel in the centre is finished.

I have now started to fill the honey comb in.

It is lovely seeing the cloth coming to life.

My cloth has moved along over the last two weeks

This is a photo of the centre as it was two weeks ago.

Here is the picture of my progress.

I am really loving working on it and would spend everyday stitching on it if I could.

The mammoth tablecloth project

 This is the pattern for a cross stitch table cloth started more than 20 years ago.

The pattern is from an old Anna Burda magazine.

I was unable then to buy the width of linen that I need so I have modified the pattern.

The centre honeycomb pattern will now be narrower but the entire cloth will be longer so that it can be used an the extended table.

This was were I was at when I pulled it from the cupboard two weeks ago.

There is a border with little birds.
