Stitching round up!

Well, here we are in lockdown again; I hope everyone is keeping well in these difficult times and now there's a vaccine there's light at the end of the tunnel, it just seems to be a very long tunnel. So, we have been busy stitching. There are more photos on our Instagram page but here's a little sample of what we've been up to.

A few of us have been doing Anne Brooke's #52tagshannemade - it's been great and I'm really enjoying it; here's a few photos of the first three challenges. Anne has great videos for each tag on You Tube and for her other projects, here's the link: Anne Brooke










It's not the only thing we've been doing, the 4 inch square challenge we have been doing as a branch is still ongoing with various people catching up with each months colour at different times! I'm being super organised and have planned all the colours and started on several that need hand stitching - I'm way more organised than normal and I'm not quite sure why. We've done white, rust, red and blue so far. Even if you're not a member and would like to follow along the details of the challenges are on the Branch Challenge tab - anything goes really, it's great for trying out new techniques, using up scraps and it could run alongside Anne's project!








There's also a nice sideline in birds going on too!

You may have been following Anne and her 2020 stitch projects, well here's the new one for 2021.
A tag a week for the year; you can follow on Instagram - #52tagshannemade or on her FaceBook page and of course she has videos on her You Tube channel. Looks like another lovely follow along.
