On the way to half the year done... and I can't say I have done half the projects I wanted to do!!
This weeks crafting has included sewing face details......
I did these by hand embroidery
Satin stitch and back stitch....
It does add some character to the faces....
Tuesday sewing I continued with sewing up hexagon flowers with Field Journal .....
5 more to go before I need to make the joining and border ones....
I put together the blocks for Blessings.... they had to be joined before adding the angel on top ... so that was done and she was blanket stitched around....
There is still a border to go which has a scalloped edge which will be blanket stitched and added on.
Happy with the progress this week... some crochet has been hooked - the blanket and the scarf are growing....
I do hope you have a lovely weekend.....xx
Cute faces, sure does give them character adding details. Blessings looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWell done, yes, those faces need features! Love seeing the progress on Field Journal, it's going to be gorgeous when finished.
ReplyDeleteThe faces do look good, as does the top so far. xx
ReplyDeleteGosh those faces look amazing Fiona! Really pop out at you. I dislike satin stitch = it is not one of my favorites. You seem to achieve lots in your weeks to me. Enjoy the weekend Fiona xx
