As you can see from this Work In Progress Wednesday report, I have been getting on with the usual work. Additionally, I promised to share the work I completed on World Embroidery Day last week, which you can see below.
Hexablooms
I added more flower blocks and the flimsy now holds 86 flowers.
Mandala
I dug into my box of braids and ribbons and fished out this line of flat flowers. I will use them on the Mandala, somehow...
Baby Quilt
The machine quilting is now underway. Here is a picture of the reverse side.
Sunday Stitch School Indigo Sampler on World Embroidery Day
These are the three stitches I added last week:
#307 Rhodes Diamond (light coral), #308 Crossed Cretan (red) and #309 Chessboard Filling Stitch (light blue and teal)
Birthday Card
I had this stumpwork portrait in a box and decided to mount it onto a piece of card and insert it into a window card.
Here is a picture of a detail. I will show the clear portrait once the birthday 'gal' has celebrated her day.
A lot of progress this week. The hexagon project is really growing. The birthday card will be appreciated!
ReplyDeleteProgress indeed. I'm sure the flower ribbon will turn out intriguing and useful somewhere on the Mandala!
ReplyDeleteGood progress! I can't wait to see what you do with the line of flowers, fun. And machine quilting on the baby quilt, good choice.
ReplyDeleteAnother stumpwork portrait for a birthday card, I'm sure it will bring smiles. Have a good stitching day Carin!
Wow, so much progress! I am always keen to see what you do with your mandala!
