WIPW - I Thought I Was Done

Work In Progress Wednesday Report.


Hexablooms

I thought I was done with the Hexabloom flimsy! Alas...

Here is the last stitch:



However, after hanging the flimsy across the window, I can see that it does not fully cover the glass.

With the electric light on.

With the electric light switched off and the daylight seeping through the fabric (no backing yet). 

I quite like the 'stained glass' effect, but that would mean a backing of tulle or netting, and no batting. Hmmm...


To cover the glass means I need to add another column, either on the left or the right side. I will have to 'interview' (an expression my friend Janie of Craczy Victoriana Crazy for Quilts often uses when she looks through her stash for suitable fabric for her stunning colourful quilts) my collection of fabric to see if I have more of light (left side) or dark (right side) fabric left.

In a sense, I am glad I do not need to go shopping for backing fabric and batting just yet - it is still too hot to pedal to the fabric shop. I can do with another week or so.


Sunday Stitch School Indigo Sampler

Here I added #374 Whipped Reversed Fly Stitch.



Canvas Sampler

I realised I had missed a canvas stitch, #368 Balloon Stitch, so it has now been added.
