There has been more applique happening here and mostly crochet. I finished my raspberry ripple blanket and worked on my second block for the Baltimore class.
there were some challenges with the curvy flowers but am reasonably happy with the result. The little buds took some doing and undoing but I got there in the end
these are the little blighters that gave me so much trouble.
A carriage fit for a princess. This week she completed two frog princes. I will get a pic of them this week.
I also had a wonderful item in the mail.... I had asked Fiona of bubz rugz if she would like to quilt my Lisa Bonegan sewalong mini. She kindly said she would and WOW!
It's very hard to see the quilting in the photo of the right sidebut take my word for it it is amazing, all those fabrics detract from the quilting lol
But on the back you can see how amazing the quilting is...
The photos don't quite do it justice but the flash does show how much work is in it.
I love these little 'cathedral' arches.
Now to bind it and hang it.. I have just the spot. I might even swap it around to the reverse side every now and then.
Thankyou so much Fiona for completing my mini.
Is it the weekend yet? I so wish it was.
Have a great week
Cheers
Marina
