A grey wet day in my sewing room, saw me pulling out felt, fabrics and ribbons, deciding what I was going to use for embellishing the needle roll, cutting out all the pieces and finally making a start. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed wool felt applique and the subsequent embroidery it requires.
I am changing my cover design slightly, my eyes can't handle stitching 1cm hexies together, and using different fabrics and trims from the original to make it my own taste. It's going to be bright though.
Hopefully I get a chance to work on this in the evenings and get it finished this week.
Love your stitches, so pretty! And the ric rac colours are lovely too, will you use them anywhere else apart from the stems?
ReplyDeletePretty Julie, are they pieces left over from your bird dance quilt?
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Your colors are exciting and your needle work projects turn out beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSue Spargo has amazing patterns doesn't she?
Such a terrific start. I think this style of design is very open to interpretation, no right or wrongs. I have a black felt pincushion which is insanely dusty... I'll be interested in knowing whether your project stays clean!
ReplyDeleteThis will be fun and beautiful when finished.
ReplyDeleteI am having a down day. I have 5 deer fly bites on my leg that I ended up having an allergic reaction too. They swelled to be very large, hurt my leg while I walk and itch like crazy!
I have to ice, soak, ice and soak to get the poison out. Goodness! What a crazy week. At the same time Atticus had an accident at work. His finger got caught in some boat anchors. He chipped a bone on the one finger. He is doing well, thank goodness. All should heal fine according to the doctor.
