This is the weekly Work In Progress Wednesday report.
The Green Man
This stained glass block where I have decorated the bias tape between the various pieces of 'glass' is now complete. Colonial Knots have been added to every void of the Herringbone Stitch.
Ever since I started Sunday Stitch School in November 2016, I have made reference charts to showcase the stitches. The latest chart is now full and contains 30 stitches, #262 - #291.
I removed the butterfly-printed support panels (they've been there to make it easier to stretch the chart in a hoop).
Furthermore, I typed the names of every stitch, printed it on fabric and stitched each name in its right box by machine.
The next step was to prepare a new chart and attach the butterfly panels to it. The new chart has space for 54 new stitches! I certainly hope I will be able to find 54 stitches!
Hexablooms
I stitched up five more flowers. I used grey fabric for one of them - have you ever seen a grey flower before?
You have had a very productive week. You have been able to find many new and unusual stitches. I think you will find at least 54 more! Nice additions to your hexagon collection.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress Queenie. I'm always inspired by your stitches and colors.
ReplyDeleteAnd you've started a new Reference Chart. You're very organized.
A grey flower? I'll get out my wild flower reference book and have a look....
I don't think you'll have any trouble finding more stitches - there seems to be an endless supply!
ReplyDeleteYou are so very organized!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you will have any trouble filling those stitches judging from your past efforts!
ReplyDeleteThe center of your hexagonal flowers is often a special color such as gold or silver, but is there a purpose behind it? I don't remember ever seeing gray flowers, but you made them and showed them to me. Thank you Queenie.🙋
