Patchwork with Stitchery SAL: April

This week is the April link up for the 'Patchwork with Stitchery' sew-a-long hosted by Martina at Sunshine Quilting.  For this month's stitchery project I have managed to embroider two more blocks from the 'United Stitches' project that I restarted last month.



The patterns for the 'United Stitches' project were designed by the Australian designer Rosalie Dekker (Quinlan) and they are really pretty.

I don't know why I set this project aside for so long, I am really enjoying embroidering the little stitcheries.

I now have four little star blocks and I am really pleased with them. I am looking forward to getting started on some more for next month too!


Don't forget to pop across and see who else has linked up with Martina for the sew-a-long this month, there are bound to be some pretty projects to look at!

    These little embroideries are definitely sweet. Placing them in the stars just shows them off to perfection.

      Thank you Ariadna! I really enjoyed stitching them! Maybe it is because of the settings between wordpress and blogger? Christine x
