Sorry I missed last week's post. I'm having a busy week but it's time for a week off and some rest and relaxation. I'm in a bit of a predicament. I finished my project on Tuesday, and I haven't worked at all on my other WIP for about 3 weeks. I prepared a new WIP that I intend on doing while on a spa trip but if I post it now, it's going to be just a white canvas.

How was your week? Did you work on your projects?

Wonder Woman was moving along pretty swiftly until I got to her hair, which is proving to be a bit more challenging than I would have thought, but I'm making good progress!

lttp. This week's getting away from me.

It looks really good so far! Do those qsnap things work better than a regular hoop?

[–] letter_d@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh my gosh yes. I accidentally broke the hoop moving the fabric so I decided to upgrade. I find the frame much easier to hold and it holds the fabric tighter. Definitely recommended.

I might get one from the fabric store this weekend then! I find myself constantly having to adjust the fabric on these hoops I got

Yesss, q-snap gang! 😎

Just make sure you get the original ones. I hear the cheap Chinese ones are more trouble than it's worth. They are on the pricey side but they're well worth it, at least for me they were!

This pattern is bigger than I thought so I'll have to move this one some depending on where I'm working but it's much easier to use the snap frame so far...

I'm reporting in for WIP Wednesday...on a Friday. Which probably says it all really.

Husband was in for surgery on Wednesday (it went well!) so I've spent the first half of this week freaking out, then this half recovering emotionally. Not much time for stitching 😅

Hoping to get a few more cogs in on the Steampunk World Map tonight though, so I can contribute an actual photo next week!
