I made a good start on the stitching yesterday and I have been so eager to cut into the fabrics.
Here is my progress so far...
 |
| lots of little chain stitch, something I hadn't tried before.. |
 |
| traced some of the other stitcheries too. |
This is roughly how the block will go together..
In the lower green check block there is supposed to be a dresden plate but I am leaning towards a hexagon flower. There is time to decide. There are a couple of other stitched flowers that need tracing but they can wait for now.
Next week the rest of the patterns will arrive but I am going to keep it as a bom.
I like to do other projects in between big ones like this.
There is a new project on it's way next week too. One I was lucky to win!
Once it arrives I will explain more..
Hope you have had a crafty weekend too! Off to put away my sewing machine and bits and pieces.
cheers
