Here is a Work In Progress Wednesday report from a swelteringly hot Tokyo. The rainy season is still not over but the temperature tells another story. The themometer says it is the height of summer.
Hexablooms
I have started attatching the line of blocks in row 16 to the row 15 of the flimsy. This is the job I illustrated with this picture earlier.
I have also assembled a number of new blocks for row 17.
Sunday Stitch School Indigo Stitch Sampler
First, I made a circle with #367 Whipped Stem Stitch. Then, with the help of waste canvas, I started on a set of #368 Balloon Stitch. I hope to have a larger area filled in by next Wednesday, as well as a sample of the #369 Single Wave Stitch and #370 Colcha Stitch..
The hexagons are coming along nicely. I know from experience how heavy and hot they can be. I recognize the fob on your scissors.
ReplyDeleteI feel that having gold or silver centers for your hexagons really works well for the overall design.
ReplyDeleteGood progress on your indigo sampler, the set of Balloon Stitches will look great on the indigo.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a knack with colour! The balloon stitch looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI can't begin to imagine working on a quilt, even just the flimsy, in a heatwave!
