Last year I took part in a free weekly blackwork stitchalong by Steady Thread. A friend at embroidery guild and I did it together which was fun as we encouraged each other. Different threads and different patterns.
I have mounted mine in the hoop that I showed I had covered with Washi Tape. I was a bit messy and around the edges you can see where I was a bit generous with the glue! There is felt on the back.
Hardanger this last week was these two light pink parts. I did struggle with the fact they are on the diagonal.
Then on Thursday June taught me the Greek Cross. I got the hang of it while she was there to guide me... now I need to do a section on my own.
Sew Day with a friend resulted in hand sewing the binding down for Civil War Bride.
I'm really pleased to have finally finished it... I had forgotten how much fun I had making it
The quilting took a while but it was simply going around the applique with some detail in leaves and larger areas like skirts etc.
Lucky to have had a larger piece of a suitable fabric for binding.
It has been horribly hot and humid, not like some areas. Some storms have passed through including a microburst in our area which saw trees down and trampolines hurling around (no damage at our place)
I sewed with the quilt on a table under a fan.
Righto, Gotto Go. Had friends over the weekend so whilst I catch up on washing and Hubz is out at golf I will try and get some more of that hardanger done, but I expect to be distracted by the quilt on the frame, or the zippy bags ..... !!
Have a lovely rest of the week....
