As if 17 new starts between April-July wasn't enough, Tiff and I decided that another new start binge was called for before the end of the year. We agreed on four new starts during the four weekends of November, leaving enough time to recover from our previous binge and slotting in nicely between Dark October and Christmas.
All credit to Tiff for affectionately naming this Naughty November. :)
I knew straight away which four charts I wanted to stitch, especially having found the 'perfect' fabrics for them (well, for three of them as the fourth wasn't quite right).
So here's the first one. This is a spring design called Let's Bloom by Imaginating and is one of Ursula Michael's many designs in her 'Words' collection.
I was lucky enough to find extra stitching time on Saturday, so here's my fantastic amount of stitching over the weekend:
Let's Bloom by Imaginating
Stitched on 16ct Shades Of Spring by sewitall.com
Stitching time to date - 6 hours
This is also a big hint as to what's coming for each of the remaining weekends in November.
A few of you have said you will join in, so I'm looking forward to seeing your starts, especially if you've used your time wisely to stitch Christmas ornies.
Here's the linky-widget-thingy. Please add your name, a thumbnail, and the URL of your actual post, not your blog. The link will remain open for ten days. There's no pressure to link-up if you don't want to, but it would be lovely to see lots of gorgeous new starts all together.

What a fantastic bright start in the dark November!
Hi Rachel,
I have tried to add my post but I don't think it has worked for some reason. Thought I had followed the instructions but I don't see m link here or in your blog bar either, so here is my link https://theflashingscissors.blogspot.com/2020/11/naughty-november.html
You made a great start there!
