Seems the fun WIP Wednesday names didn’t take off so back to the regular post names.

With last week’s finish I got to start my new project! I’m super excited for this project. Trying out my Q-snaps and grime guard for the first time also. It’s full coverage and about 20k stitches. I’m doing 2 over 1 on 18 count Aida.

I’ll get back to the Mondrian project at some point.

    I think I will make it into a little pillow ornament like in the pattern picture. It’s tiny! Only 7 cm per side. I tend to get lazy at the finishing step, so we will see if I actually get it fully finished. :)

    I’ve done the first round of cuts and already had to do a repair thread (got a little snip happy). I have terrible vision and I keep miscounting, but the fix was straightforward.

    Glad you like the grime guard! I love mine. I also have sweaty hands. I think it keeps the fabric much nicer on the edges.

      I also have a hard time fully finishing my stitching. My mind goes well the stitching is done so lets move on to the next thing. haha
