Rain, rain, go away - we want to go out and play!

But, since the rain isn't stopping any time soon, I've been stitching away. I operated on my butterfly's belly and took out some excess fat, then restitched the snail in 1 thread. Nearly there - then I remembered that I had intended to decorate the butterfly wings, so I've done that too.
Finally, here is everything for the Stitching Round the block swap, ready to be mailed off to Fee.



Will put in a piece of the background fabric in case there is any more stitching then off it goes to Brighton for Round 2.
I've nearly finished the stitcheries on my FIS Christmas swap present - just 4 more little ones to go. Hopefully will get them finished tonight and tomorrow [public holiday here!] I can start putting that together as well as the GGCS bag which is going to travel to France sometime next month, ready for Christmas Day at Michèle's house. These are my priorities and then I can get on with some other bits and pieces that I have been planning for ages - like making Faerie Noël for this Christmas!
Hope you've all had a great weekend in spite of the weather ☺

You sound like me with your sewing schedule. I love your fabrics for the 'stitching round the block'. Your little quilt is going to be stunning. Just love butterfly fabrics and your stitchery block looks great.
