I finished something!!! Here is Bent Creek's Swirly Sampler, which I stitched up in four weeks. I have done this as a gift for a very dear friend who is expecting twins in the next month. I still need to find an S shaped charm to attach for the letter S. The charm in the pattern is proving difficult to obtain, but I will be looking at the charms and notions in my local scrapbooking stores to see if I can spot anything appropriate. I am hopeful I will find something.
I loved this pattern. It was easy to stitch up, and has made me feel more inclined to tackle a few of those other WIPs which I have been avoiding.

Beautiful!!! Now let me know if you want me to order you that "S" (and order me one too!
It looks terrific! What fabric did you use? I've got that one in my stash, I just love Bent Creek.
It's lovely Emma! One of these days I'll get around to that pattern... :)
It is stitched on Dragonfly Dreams Thyme jobelan, which came from http://www.dragonflydreams.com.au
Margaret, I see you already read my message regarding the S. Thanks again for your very kind offer.
Emma
It's gorgeous emma, mommy will be very pleased I'm sure!
That is lovely. I don't know that I would have the patience to do something as intricate as that, though (ironic, coming from someone who hand quilts her quilts).
Lovely. As a mother of twins (+1), I guarantee your similarly fecund friend will adore it!
(and because I'm runnign out of time, I thoroughly endorse everything you say in the post below about food. I have three kids and my husband and I work out of home full time butwe eat home made food, from scratch, six nights a week [the seventh is takeaway because, hey, I'm not a saint!!] and yes, menu planning is the key for us, too.)
coming back later to ask... did you find the S charm? Inquiring minds seek to know!
