I am Lizzy (my favourite!)

Take the Quiz here!

I signed up for Jenn's Pay it Forward Challenge. The rules (if you don't already know they are as follows):

I will send a handmade gift to the first 5 people who leave a comment on my blog. You will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.

BP SAL II

Second weekend of the Beatrix Potter Quaker SAL, and still not finished on the first motif :-( Had less time to spend on it than expected.
However, here it is:
I like how it looks stitched over one on this linen.

HAED start

Yesterday I started on my HAED Storykeeper, which is a SAL with some Hungarian online friends. This is my first ever HAED design (a week ago I didn't even know I was going to ever stitch one), and I love it so far!
This is how far I got:









Today it's BP Quaker day, my other favourite!

it was a long time

That I did not post, but I was overwhelmed with work.
As I want to go stitching right now, I can only share some progress piccies:
The may house from the needleworker SAL - I could not finish it, and today I am starting the JUne one - hope to have more succes on finishing that one!







The first half motiv of the Beatrix Potter Quaker Sampler which I am doing as a SAL on Sundays - on a homespun linen (about 100 yrs old) over one wiht DMC 902.






Extract for JJ Birthday Flowers - RR.










My part of the new free style RR with an autumnal theme. The fabric is fein floba from Zweigart, the desing is Autumn Thanks from SABF, with the recommended floss.

Some update

With the busy season here I had very limited spare time, which I tried to spend stitching rather than blogging, but I did stick to my rotation. However, my progress piccies are related to RRs I am participating is.
First, a Flower Fairy is born:
This one is for a dear lady (or rather her daughter now) who passed away far too early last summer, leaving a 2 year old baby behind. Finishing her RRs is quite heavy, but we decided we would do it, and sticked with it.
The fabric is a very high count, about 35-40, and is stitched 1 ply over 2.



And, I have started my part of the new RR, in which my theme will be autumn.
I am through halfway already:
This one is stitched on Zweigart Fein Floba, with DMC and Gentle Art threads.







And finally, my beautiful hand-dyed fabrics have arrived from Carol:
I am really happy with them, I can sit and watch them all day long, thinking about what should go on them!

A bit late for April

but it's almost done! I chose to work on this wip as part of my rotation yesterday. Some more rain and I am over with it! (and it is good, because then I will be able to finish it up a small puffy hanger with my new sewing machine - I sure need some practice using it!).
This was not the only project I was working on last night, but the other thing cannot be published - it is part of a "new baby project" for a stitching friend - and one can never know who is reading!

First SAL night

Yesterday was the first in my rotation when I was able to work on our Maison de Campagne freebie. And, in the last minute, work came in: I had to finish a report urgently, so I only had about 1,5 hours for stitching.
So, I only got this far... I have two more Tuesdays to go this month, to finish it up.

A new blog

Well, I felt I should start blogging in English as well... I have been writing a blog in Hungarian for a while, but I am starting to meet people from all over the world, and I would like to have a blog that I can recommend to them as well.
This one will be about stitching.
Yesterday I started to operate kind of a rotation. As I am participating in quite a few RRs, I must dedicate at least three nights for them, on Tuesdays I am working on the SAL project we have just started with some Hungarian stitchers, and on the other nights I am trying to work on my WIPs.
Yesterday was a combined day, so I worked on a WIP and an RR as well:
This one is part of a Round Robin, the theme is fairies, and this is Buttercup fairy from DMC.

This is a WIP, Bent Creek's April glooms. This is stitched on Zweigart Fein Floba, using DMC floss.
