WIPW - An Old Friend and 16 Seams

Among the Work In Progress Wednesday projects you will find that an old friend - the Tvistsöm Cushion - is now back in action.

Tvistsöm Cushion
Do you remember the Swedish long armed cross stitch, Tvistsöm, and the cushion I am making in wool? 
At the beginning of the pandemic I ran out of yarn and had to shelve the project, because I wanted to avoid using public transport to go to the shop. Finally I have now managed to get to the tapestry wool supplier and have restocked my stash of wool hanks.

I am working on column no 41.

Log Cabin Project
No fewer than 16 seams got the 'Embroidery Treatment'.
I added the following stitches:

  1. Chain,
  2. Portuguese Border,
  3. Buttonholed Double Chain,
  4. Woven Cross,
  5. Raised Cup,
  6. Shell Chain,
  7. Alternating Up and Down Buttonhole,
  8. Knotted Buttonhole Band,
  9. Whipped Running,
  10. Granitos,
  11. French Knotted Chain,
  12. Buttonholed Fly,
  13. E Laced Edging,
  14. Magic Split,
  15. Amadeus,
  16. Brick


The yellow lines indicate where these 16 seams are, the red lines are the previously stitches ones.

10 new log cabin blocks were stitched for the quilt. Total block count: 144


Freeform Embroidery
Linked Chain, Zig-zag Coral and Spanish Feather  were added.


Crazy for Crazy
I worked some beads and sequins on the purple block.

All in all, it's been a productive week.

    That's great you got to restock your wool supply! And more stitching will ensue on your cushion project.
    Your embroidery on your log cabin blocks is beautiful and your sampler additions are amazing.

    What a wonderful output for just one week. Nice to see the cushion again- Both stitch and tapestry wool should make it last for many years.
    I think you are creating the largest Stitch Sampler, ever. Love it.. also your Freeform

    Lots and lots of progress. There are some upsides to these lock downs.

    Yes! Very productive!!! I wish I could say the same for myself... Your log cabin quilt is going to be a showstopper! We should figure out how to submit it to the Tokyo Festival!

    Wish I could be as productive. It seems all I do these days is stir up the mess. I really need to get out of the house for more than sweeping the street. I would never be able to remember the names of all those stitches.

    So much progress, and such beautiful work. The embroidery adds so much texture to your quilt it makes me want to touch my computer screen!
