SAL 46: Sew close…..

Another three weeks has shot past and I have managed to get all the elements of my little mossy bank, for my blue wren to sit on, finished – but not mounted.

This is where I was up to last time…

I have now managed to make up the little pincushion, finish off the French knots, incorporate the needle lace fungi and add a few more beads and spangles. It is still very green, but now it looks like this…..

Many thanks for popping in and look forward to catching up in three weeks time.

Happy stitching.
