I have now finished both the February and the March sections of Heirloom Christmas and it has been safely put away until April. The Hemstitch which I was dreading turned out to be far easier than I thought and the only bug I had was with the small Rhodes Hearts in the second lace panel. The diagram for this was most confusing and I ended up working it out on my EasyCross computer programme. I am still not sure if they are perfect but they look OK so that will have to do. They were really fiddley to do and took me an absolute age.
I tried to take a picture of the Small Rhodes Hearts but they do not really show up. However my hemstitch came out well so I have still included it.
I have sorted everything out now for my part in the Kit Up A Freebie exchange and hope to get that posted off tomorrow, along with AnnT's chosen gift from the Stay at Home Parcel.
Now for a couple of days on my UFO as I missed last weeks stint.

Helen.
Your stitching on Heirloom Christmas is looking beautiful. I´ll be looking forward to seeing an update on this in April.
