this week has just flown so quickly.
It's back to work routine and I am missing the 'me' time that was so abundant during the past two weeks at home.
I didn't want to lose all the momentum of the holidays so tried to keep up with the projects on the go.
The last 8 hexagon flowers for Swan lake are finished. I will now wait till mum and I can put our heads together to mark out the borders.
I have enjoyed playing with the wool projects I have started.
My scarf is all appliqued and I just need to sew the backing fabric on and it is done.
I thought it would take longer to make this project but it has been fun to make and not as difficult as I had imagined, thanks to the day in the barn.
I got so enthused with working with the wool that I have chosen another pattern from the quilted crow book to make the end borders for my Park Avenue hexagon bed runner. I have cut all the flowers just need to get all the leaves and stems done.
Here is my scarf....
I have made a start on the next Once upon a time block that I have traced out.
Look who has appeared...looking delicious with his gum drop buttons.
I think he is very cute. I did make a mistake when tracing him but I am hoping the line will fade with time.
Tomorrow I am hosting my craft group so there will be lots of chatting, laughing, eating and hopefully some stitching.
Wishing you a stitchy weekend

Like the applique on your scraf..
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that little guy???
Hello Marina,
ReplyDeleteWhat a stylish scarf. That Gingerbread man looks like he could run a country mile. If the error doesn't fade you could possible shade him with some pencils in between the two bits of stitching.
Have a lovely weekend.
Bev.

Both scarf and gingie look great. Have you tried the FriXion ball pen? It is an erasable pen( has one on the end) made by Pilot and sold at Officeworks. It also disappears after you apply heat as I discovered having traced something and the ironed on the weaveline stabiliser. Turned over the work and Poof no tracing. Comes in a variety of colours too.
