I am getting impatient to catch up on my outstanding bees and therefore have given up on my attempts to stitch celtic knots for Cindy and Turkish stitch thistles for Veena!
But I am not giving up on producing blocks for these two ladies - no I'm substituting them with something I think will work better.
So this 10.5" block is for Cindy - much more visual than my celtic knots and still very Scottish.
And this similar smaller scaled block is for Veena who actually asked for our national flower.
And together
The pattern can be found here and my thanks to Patti who made a pansy for Veena made by the same clever lady and alerted me to this possibility.
Two more blocks done. Now after that paper pieced diversion I still have a castle to finish for Fiona! And then two more blocks to start and finish for the Star of Africa bee. I will be so glad to catch up!
I have linked up here....have a little look - you might want to...

ReplyDeleteAlso thank you for the advice on getting started on stamping - just start! I have (finally!) started my stamps and have only sliced my thumb once. Have done my test stamping tonight and am going to try the real deal tomorrow when my brain is working a bit better.
