This Week's UFO Progress

I've been stitching on 'Heirloom Christmas Sampler' this week, and here is how it looks now:

I really struggle to stay on this one, and had to hold myself back from starting something new later in the week!  The bands are so detailed, with some tricky stitches, so it takes a while to finish each one.  Cutting the fabric for the drawn thread work is difficult, too - I struggle with threading the horizontal threads back at the sides, and I'm worried in case I make a mistake and ruin the whole thing!  I know once it's finished it will look great, but it's tough going...I'm glad it's time to put it down and move on to the next UFO - HAED's 'QS Scarlet Witch' - a design I'm stitching 1 over 1 on 25ct evenweave.

We're going to the cinema tomorrow afternoon to watch the latest instalment of Harry Potter.  I have only read a couple of the books (up to Goblet of Fire, which I only read a half of), but I love the films...We are taking Sammy with us, and it's the last showing of the film at our local cinema.

Have a good week, and Happy Stitching :o)

Such a beautiful piece! I'm not sure I'm ready to tackle that one, but it looks fantastic!

Hope you enjoyed the movie, I finally went to see it and can't wait for the next one.
