Grow Your Own - 50 hours

Hello all!

Walter's back!!! Or to give him his proper name, Grow Your Own by Hannah Dale for Bothy Threads.

Last year I promised myself I would finish this project but didn't even put in one stitch. This year, it's another promise and one which I fully intend to keep. If nothing else, I owe it to the person who gifted me the voucher to purchase him.

So here's how I left Walter on 31st December 2020:



And after another 10 hours of love during which I finished the radishes, added the potatoes and made good progress on the yummy-looking tomatoes:



I'm hoping to stay with him, so you may see another update before my focus turns to the Winter Olympics which start in less than two weeks on 4th February.

Take care,
Rachel x

    He is so cute, great stitching. He would fit well in this month's TTSAL as the theme is Easter.

    It's good to see the before and after pictures as it makes you realise how much you actually stitched. It's a lovely WIP.

    You made good progress on Arthur during this rotation. I really like the addition of all the vegetables.

    He's looking great! This is exactly why I started GG to inspire me to stitch all the things people had so kindly given me.

    I love the progress on Walter and he is looking great with all those veggies! I look forward to seeing him again. I was just thinking about your Olympic starts this morning and can't wait to see what you will be stitching on for the 19 or so days.

    Gosh, has it really been a year since we've seen him?! He's looking great! It almost looks like the next ten hours could put you reaaaally close to a finish?
