What I've Been Working On

This is my completed square for the comfort quilt. I have now given it to the ladies who are constructing the quilt. I was told that what I had done, including the colours, would fit perfectly with the fabric chosen. I also found out that each woman who did a square chose a different Bible verse. I can't wait to see what the quilt will look like when it is finished.

And this is my progress on Sweetheart's Gate. My last photo showed the top half of the stitching, which I had completed except for the backstitch. I have now stitched all the way down on the right side (except backstitch) and last night I did the last few stitches over to the left side. Now I'll be working my way up to the top again, before completing the backstitching after all the main cross stitches are complete. Even without the backstitch you can already see the shapes coming out of the pots, basket, fence and paving of the path.

I can't believe I only started this project in Novemeber 2008. This one shouldn't take me 12 months to finish!
