yes I have finished my cross stitch "Little House Neighbourhood". I changed the wording slightly as in Australia we spell neighbour with a "u"and I decided to do it like we spell it!!! I absolutely love this and will now put it away to be framed at a later date (when I get around to it !!!) Now that I have the cross stitch bug back I am looking through my patterns to see what to do next....but first I will continue on with some patterns for workshops and also for my book.
It is a long weekend here in Vic and I am going camping.....It has finally rained after 2 months and I love the rain but not when I am in a tent! Hopefully it will stop long enough and then pour next week.It has certainly been very welcome.
I will post the next block on Sat morning nice and early...which may mean Friday for some of you!!!
Take care
Gail
I love your cross-stitch it is beautiful.

What a beautiful crosstitch!!! I am rather impressed that you have chosen to use our correct spelling too- well done.
I have about 3 counted crosstitches half done that have not been picked up since I took up patchwork, quilting and other stitcheries about 3 years ago.Now you have inspired me to get them out again and complete them.
Thanks for your continued inspiration and for sharing the free stitchery with us.

That's a very pretty cross-stitch, Gail! Glad you made it Aussie. ;-)
Have a wonderful time camping - my one and only time was 18 years ago the week before my wedding and it rained the whole time. I've never been since. LOL!

Beautiful cross-stitch picture!! I love it. I'm working on a piece that I post on a Step by step stitch along blog. Because we all post our progress every Sunday, I have been working on it some every week. Yay me!

Congrats on the finish. It look so beautiful! It's nice to do some other stitches than the ones we use on the stitcheries, and I have also been doing some cross-stitching these days:o) Pop over, and you'll see it:o)
Look forward to meeting you:o)

Tres Joli Indeed Gail you certainly make full use of your time.
Have a great weekend , such a welcome relief after the fires and the wild wild weather we have been having. There was even Snow in the Alps yesterday . can you believe it?
Enjoy the camping and the time off.
Looking forward to the next BOM instalment.

Absolutely gorgeous Gail, but that is unfair! You are the quilter and I am the cross stitcher, and you finished before me. :( LOL
