embroidery on the sofa
Thank you all for your recent well wishes, I'm feeling much better although the antibiotics have left me exhausted. The kids are still poorly but hopefully the arrival of Grandma and Auntie later today will lift their spirits!
During sofa time this week I managed to finish a little embroidery for my son, just need to get the right sized hoops to hang it up! The cute pattern is from Sublime Stitching, I let him pick all the elements he wanted to go in his picture :)
I used variegated thread for the tree, so it looks like light or a random sideways snow fall!! Oh well, he calls it his christmas tree and that's fine by me! He even did some of the stitches in it (with help!).

I've continued working on my daughter's quilt, I'm up to four rows so only 2 more, then I need to make binding!
Some of the fabric was given to me by my American cousin (if you're reading I love you and thank you!!). I like mixing the modern prints and the more traditional florals together :) Very girly and cute.
I also made a small taggy blanket for my friend's baby boy featuring fabric by Riley Blake Designs on the front:
and a different lovely soft flannel on the back:
I used this tutorial by Melissa Sews. It was super easy! It also made me realise I might need to start collecting ribbons so I have more of a choice :)
At the weekend my Nan gave me this beautiful tablecloth that she hand embroidered! Lucky me :) Now I have to find somewhere for it to live where grubby hands can't reach it!
Finally, is it weird that I
