Cups and Teapots Cross-stitch
I posted this cross-stitch at the beginning of the year after it had been washed. Looks a bit better now! Just back from the framer and ready to hang on the kitchen wall.
Cross-stitch Update

Freedom
Good news! Six weeks after my fall, I have thrown away the leg brace and most importantly, can drive the car again. Looking forward to getting back to normal. Celebrated by having my first swim of the season, and looking forward to getting to the gym tomorrow even if it is only for a gentle walk on the treadmill for now.
In the meantime, I put my enforced rest to use by finishing off a long overdue cross stitch, which involved far more work than I had imagined. Just washed it in a little dishwashing detergent and it came out looking nice and clean. It will look much better after it has been pulled into shape and framed.
Thousand Pyramid Quilt
Here is the quilt, finished at last. My friend kindly quilted it for me as she has a long arm quilting machine.
Nice to have it finished so that I can move on to another work in progress.
The story behind this quilt is that my friend’s sister-in-law had just cut out the triangles from her stash before she passed away. I was asked to put it together and now it will be given to her niece. I hope she likes it.
