not quilt Elgar's Enigma but the answer to something that has been puzzling my BFF and I.
The Best Friends Forever Stitch a Long has been about for some time now. We started in 2020 although it has a slightly different name to start click here to see that first post and project.
Since then we have finished 12 BFF SAL projects. Some more joyfully than others. It has not always been easy to find something we both wanted to do at a particular time. Occasionally out shared evenings have been designated to random sewing till we could settle on a joint project.
We have in the past toyed with the option of choosing a theme rather than a pattern, but that was being just as tricky.
However we have now decided that we will add a themed stitch into our BFF Sal sessions, but with a little twist. The Themed stitch will be on the first Wednesday of the month only. What ever project or projects we chose to work on will not be limited to our two hours shared time. And the theme runs till we mutually decide on a different one.
So as you will have guessed we are starting off with Christmas, and within that also a little bit of the single colour stitching we previously found we enjoyed.
My selection is from Cross Stitch Gold issue 123 and is by Durene Jones (fast becoming our go to designer certainly more BFF contributions than anyone else so far)
It is original red on white, but I thought this would look nice white on green. There are four designs in the set, I may do all of them whilst we are on this theme, I may not. They might all be white on a colour, or not. No rules, just some sewing and a lot of chatting.
I started tonight and have all the corners in, which was a relief.

The themed evening sounds like a great idea. I do like that bright green fabric too.
