Song of the Weather - March

I was in two minds whether to carry straight on with the March chart or have a change. I decided that as I had all of the stuff out that it made sense to carry on. March was a lot of fun. I already like Queen stitches and the Basque knots were fabulous to stitch - they are two rows of knots around the outside of the design. 

I sweated over the cutting - again! I'm not too sure that's going to wear off in a hurry in fact, as I get more bits stitched it might get worse...more to ruin if I mess it up! I really like the shape that the Klosters and the cutting make this month and the Square Filet stitch inside the middle holes is great - I used a sharp needle to do that, made it a lot easier. 

So here it is...

I put a piece of fabric behind the holes this time - it was a useful exercise. I now know that I will not be using any shade of pink fabric at the back!

Here are the first 3 altogether...

 

 Back to my  Nancy Drew stitching now - the hop starts tomorrow. You can find the full schedule here at Carol's blog.

March looks gorgeous, especially in the pinks :)

did I tell you you inspired me to join this SAL? I have the first three months printed out, now to find the time to stitch them!
