Love the details...and very clean back!

Probably a dumb question...what is that that you're parking your needles on? I've just started using this technique and I'm interested in seeing how others do it.

Keep up the great work!

Thank you very much! :grin:

It's called a "needle minder", and it's essentially two very strong magnets with a decorative button. One magnet goes behind your fabric, and the one with the pretty button goes in front. You can easily DIY them for cheap, but I have an obsession with pretty things, so I buy them. Etsy is a dangerous place; don't go there right after you get paid. :tease:

I totally love the fact you are working on the pattern downwards yafashelli - it's awesome being able to see your finished results on the sections I still have to tackle! :good:

I am a bit jealous of your ghost house though...

I'm just colour filling page 2/20
