I did show this panel before which I had been gifted.... most of the work having been done (I just blanket sttiched down felt on some leaves and gave some eyes.
I hadn't noticed some of the detailed handwork the original maker had done.... there are sweet little leaves sewn into the big leaves ...... such a lot of them and it looks gorgeous up close.
The birds have felt wings with embroidery detail on them ...
I didn't add anything more than finish the green felt and then trimmed it and have made up a binding. I will leave it as a smallish wallhanging, which shows off the handwork, I think.
Off to the Quilting Queue.
This week whilst sorting through some scraps I found these bits - I had made a quilt for a grandiegirl some years ago - maybe 10 years ago... such a sweet collection.

I chopped up the blocks and found some other coordinating fabrics and have made up this little cot quilt top....
Had enough of the yellow fabric to make up some binding....
Off to the Quilting Queue .....
The quilt on the frame was this one I made in 2023 from a prize pack I had won from Glenrose Patchwork (now closed). The prize included some completed circles and loads of templates and fabrics. I think I only added some backgrounds and the borders. EPP is not my favourite technique but I was determined to make this up.
I did straight lines ruler work in the border and curved rulers in the circles - a small meander in between
The binding was made up so that's been added but I still need to hand sew it down
Off to the Binding Queue .....
Embroidery Guild this morning found me working on my blackwork. This is the latest flower and I managed about 3 more leaves!
I am using 16 Aida cloth... those flowers are about 3/4" in size so quite little. I use a magnifying glass light for sewing this.
