I am quite pleased with myself as I have finished the border on the Beatrix Potter Quaker, Now just to do all the motifs on the inside.
***
I have been seeing a few Just Nan new starts on the blogs, as they have a SAL going on at Stitch and Stashers forum. So I dug out mine and made a start. I know I am naughty I have far too many wip's and many things that were top of the list to start first, but you know how it is when these whims just sweep us away!!
So here it is the chart ( Thanks Julie) and fabric is a sparkly greeny colour and DMC threads.
.I didn't have to fetch the kids after school Friday as they go to Grand parents so I had another DVD fest ,this time The Pirates of the Carribean. Nothing like a bit of Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom!!
And here is my first progress on this

I do love these, Thank you so much Hazel and Paula.
I have took over the running of the blog this year as Hazel has finished her Sampler, I hope to find something as nice to offer in this years prize draw.
Thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it!

BP is growing lovely, i knew you wouldnt be able to resist trying a JN!! LOL great start, these band samplers are addictive.
Congrats on the win, lovely goodies, nice stitched gift from Hazel too.
Sounds like my perfect day watching all those LOTR films. Gald you liked the package and what I made you. xx
Us stitchers are so alike! When I want to get some serous stitching done there's nothing like throwing in Lord of the Rings (extended ed.) into the DVD palyer!
Beatrix looks great and beautiful new start!
Sounds like a great way to spend a couple of days Rachael - must try it some time. LOL BPQ is gorgeous. So glad you gave in & joined in the JN SAL - beautiful piece & a good start. Very nice draw prize too. :0)
Your sampler is just stunning with the blues Rachael!

Great start on the JN piece. You certainly picked some great movies to watch ;o)
Glad you got some free time to yourself, and enjoyed the dvd, Beatrix is coming along nicely.
