Well it's now 'officially' winter here since it is June - this year we have already had lots of cold nights and frosts.
On Saturday I went to Embroidery Guild (Saturdays meet once a month) and continued with my whitework....
Finished the last heart and started with the heart fillers. I have been borrowing Hubby's light/magnifyer to do this and it has helped a lot and I have ordered my own....
Quilt Group was in a big cold hall so I took along a quilt to sew down the binding..... meant I could have the rest of it on my lap.....
Work is continuing with the side borders for Civil War Bride.... I'm on the last flowers - they need centres and then there is some embroidered legs to do....
A few more tarts have been done..... I still have quite a lot of these to go....
I found a Poinsettia flower to go on my Santa's hat.... It is just ironed on. I still need to do piecing to go around the edges of this....
So progress has been made on several things.....
The new colour for Scrap challenge is dark/bright blues - I haven't sewn my Orange's yet (they are prepped up) from last month! A bit of catch up needed there...
Righto, Gotto Go.... a bit of tidy up then go and sort through the blues....
Have a lovely rest of the week.....
Your whitework is coming along nicely, Fiona! I'm sure Santa loves his flower, it makes him look very spiffy. We have had a record-breaking cold month here.
ReplyDeleteBringing a quilt to work on is genius! The white work intrigues me: what is next for this one? Maybe your orange bits aren't sewn together but you sure kept your fingers busy. Lovely projects, all of them. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteLove the whitework it's looking wonderful. Puzzled about the blues as that was the colour/s we did back in January.
ReplyDeleteI am loving your whitework & seeing it progress Fiona. Love the poinsettia on Santa's hat - just perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe whitework is beautiful and you can't beat a quilt for keeping your legs warm. Yes, I too am puzzled about the blues - I have started some red hearts as I needed something mindless for a zoom chat yesterday. Love love love Santa's flower! xx
