WIPW - Purple Play

WIPW presents the following progress:

Freeform Embroidery
We've got Basque, Wheatear and Fly Stitch here.



Crazy for Crazy
I have engaged in Purple Play:
The two remaining lace flowers were added at the top. 
I Stitched on two fabric buttons, rescued from a dress, and encircled them with some embroidery in green. 
On the right I couched a meandering purple metallic braid and then stitched Buttonholed Lazy Daisy Stitch for leaves. There will be beads in the centre of them at a later stage.

Log Cabin Challenge
Nine more stitches from my vast collection! Drizzle, Buttonhole Eyelet Flower, Siennese, Upright Feather, Woven Chained Bar, Outline, Mennonite Tacks, Double Fly, Indian Edging.


Red lines indicate previous stitched seams and the yellow lines the new ones mentioned above.


10 new blocks were made, bringing the total to 120. What a pile!

Every time I see your log cabin squares I think I want to do some, but I'm still working with hexies at the moment.

Great progress! The rich purples are beautiful.
And I like wheat ear stitch, many variations are possible.

I am amazed at how much embroidery you have added to the various projects. Every one is eyecatching. The Freeform is a work of art. Love the rich purple C4C and the pretty additions to the Log Cabin blocks. Do you find time to sleep?
