Cadeaux brodes d'amitie and the progress

Cadeaux brodes Cadeaux d'amitie, a freebie by Liselotte . Its my April's stitching secret. Initially the design didn't quite appeal to me, I just don't know why but it wasn't for me, I was thinking of someone that this would be her liking or so I hope, but after the first couple of stitches on 32ct Belfast Antique white with DMC 3777 I just couldn't stop stitching and it took me approximately 4 nites, first week of April to complete this small.Its a birthday gift for Jess. Here's my small package I put in for her. Happy Birthday, Jess, hope you had a great day. Am glad too that it arrived on time.

Traveling Stitcher is nearing completion now. Can you spot the mistake I mentioned in my previous post? Check the trees. Yep! its the case of the wrong green. I still haven't actually made up my mind yet but for now I will not frog. I must thank everyone for your comments regarding this, appreciate it a lot.Lastly, April's progress of Mary. I've moved on to Part 6 thou there's still one motif yet to be done in Part 5. I have decided that I shall allocate sometime for Mary every month, like maybe a week a month for some amount of progress.
Thanks for visiting everyone, may you have a great week.

What a lovely gift for Jess. She must have been delighted. You know French designs never fails. In fact it grows on you! :)

Travelling stitcher coming along nicely.

I think I'll steal your idea of putting aside one week of the month for Mary Wigham.

I feel so lucky to have that French red and white! Thank you so much, and even moreso when I saw how many night you had to sit up stitching.
Jess.xx.
