It's amazing what you can achieve when you're wide awake at 4am! These words "Think happy thoughts" are very appropriate this week. Inbetween writing my mum's eulogy and preparing for next week's service, I've completed the stitchery blocks for month 6 of Wish You Well, the mystery BOM by Gail Pan Designs. All the details for taking part in this gorgeous block of the month are on Gail's website, if you click on the I Stitch Club tab, or you ca click on the link on the sidebar of my blog. The hand embroidery has been stitched using a selection of embroidety threads - DMC, Cosmo and variegated Valdani threads. The 2 background fabrics are from the Super Bloom collection by Edyta Sitar, of Laundry Basket Quilts.

The pattern is Wish You Well, not Think Happy Thoughts - all the information you need is with the picture.

Do you use a backing on your embroidery? I've tried stabilizers with mixed results and better luck with muslin but would like to know what you prefer? Thanks!

Hi Ruth - I always use a lightweight fusible interfacing on the wrong side of the background fabric for both hand embroidery and hand applique projects. I've been using Vilene H180 recently, which I buy online from Cross Patch, here in the UK.
