Anyway, to the task at hand. Here is my jump rope for this week. I didn't do the jacks block, because here Downunder we call jacks knucklebones and, well, I liked the texture of the rope!
I have no fabric around the outside again but at least I managed to finish all the stitching. And, because I'm trying to be organised, I have traced the rest of the blocks. I used pencil. Now I'm more confident with my stitching, I'm pretty sure it won't show through. So that should help with stitching in the evening - it is hard to trace in the evening light, I find.

How are you getting on? Has anyone done any of the text blocks? I'm thinking of doing one again next week, so I can sew my top row together.
Link up quilty friends! I hope you're having a good weekend.

What a great wee block - loving all the original letter ideas in these blocks :)
Love the jump rope!! I actually finished j, k and l this weekend. I'm really enjoying embroidery and was trying to decide how possible it was to get this finished for my daughter for Christmas... She's really into letters right now (or ABCDs as she calls them). I bought the jubilee layer cake for fabric, but I'm thinking there's not enough variety in it, so I might need to go get some more. I still have to add all the fabric to my blocks, so I'm not sure if its possible to finish by Christmas!
Maybe I'll need to make a priority list like you did!
Good choice on the rope. I like its wiggly squigglyness! How exciting to be approaching a completed row!
