WIPW - More SDGs Mending

 It is already time for another Work In Progress Wednesday report.

Hexablooms

I now have a pile of 16 completed blocks for row 16. The fabric for the remaining 11 blocks is prepared, cut, and numbered, awaiting basting and assembling.

Gifts

The luncheon mats are finished. I also made a Swedish 'tablecloth roll'. It is a cardboard tube that has been covered in fabric and used to roll up table runners and the like for storing.

SDGs Mending

While sorting out and packing away winter blankets and flannel bed linens, I discovered that my pillow liner (a plain pillow cover used between the pillow and the pretty pillow cover) was torn. 

It's a very old liner, probably from the 1970s, but of high quality and still clean and fresh. Frugal as I am, I thus decided to mend the tear in the same way as I did the tear in my black jacket - by using iron-on tape. I will be able to use the pillow liner for some time yet.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 364: Kashmiri Ball Stitch

Today I want to let Shami Immanuel of My Craft Works teach us how to make the Kashmiri Ball Stitch. On her blog post, she has a link to the video you can see below.

Or you can have a look at my photo tutorial.

Homework: Add Kashmiri Balls to the three samplers.

Friday Homework for Lesson 363: Torocko Stitch

 This was faster and easier than I expected!

WIPW - White and Metallic Hexagons

White,  Metallic and odd pieces of fabric that have been turned into Hexagons, that's what this week's Work In Progress Wednesday report is all about.

Hexablooms

I have mainly made parts, e.g. the white hexagons that fill in gaps in the pattern and the metallic hexagons used for the middle of the flowers.

Gift

The other hexagons, those I am using for the luncheon mats that will be given to some friends, have been assembled into two flowers.
