There is another one for Month one Hook, Line and Sinker... but apparently it's not on my computer...

Currently stitching Month 2 (which is only one block this time) for Hook, Line and Sinker :)

Very nice!

They are so pretty. Are they done by hand?

How cute!!!

Very nice! Keep up the good work and make sure you post the finished projects, I can't wait to see them! :thumbup:

Great job! I love hand stitchery. What do you use to color the fabric?

very nice embroidery always one of my favorites

That looks fantastic - my mom loves doing their patterns.

all I can say is OOOOOHHHH I LOVE IT!!!!!!

nicely done

yes, all by hand. Takes me about a week for each Gingerbread block. And the fishy ones depend on the size of the block... these ones each took a day or two...

I use Crayola crayons. White over the whole thing, and then colours.
The directions say to buy the 64 count box, but where I am the 96 count is cheaper.. LOL. And I go through ALOT of white :)

Beautiful! I love Crabapple Hill designs!

Those are so pretty. I love hand embroidery. Do you use any special ironing technique over the crayola?

Yes. After coloured, coverwith paper towel, and press. change papertowel and repeat. Repeat again as long as `colour` transfers onto the papertowl. I colour lightly, so usually the 2nd press is clean!

You do beautiful work! I just love Meg Hawkey's designs and patterns. I was lucky enough to get to visit her shop a few years ago and meet her.

Now that looks like a ton of fun!!!

That will be a treasure when completed.

Coming along nicely.

thanks everyone!!
