More Progress

The Mario sampler is coming along well. I'm still dreading the border at the other side, but I think that I should just buckle down and get it done. It might even be worth starting it now and getting it out of the way. At least then I can stop moaning about it! My Mum got me a family tree stitch kit, which looks great and has the added bonus of being incredibly personal. This definately is heirloom marterial. My better half got me 'Adventures in Needlecraft' which contains some incredible tapestry patterns. I've not done tapestry before, but have ordered the materials and I'm looking forward to getting started on them too. There are three large patterns that I'd like to do. One is a wall hanging, another is a framed piece and the third is a cushion. I'm starting with the framed piece first, then the cushion. I might even have a go at making up the cushion!
