WIPW - Only 9 Left to Go

 Work In Progress Wednesday-  progress made since last week.

Hexablooms

I have stitched 18 hexagon flower blocks to the flimsy.

9 left to do!

WIPW - The Last Stitch in the Last Snake

 Work In Progress Wednesday.

Hexablooms

I put the last stitch in the last 'snake'.　The assembling of row #17 is completed.

Here are the 27 blocks in the last snake (row #17).

The next step will be to join this snake to row #16 of the flimsy.

#372 Looped Stem Stitch in wool.

This is what the Indigo Sampler looks right now.

Sashiko Kitchen Cloth

I have worked hard on my kitchen cloth. One section remains.

WIPW - The Last Piece in Place

 Work In Progress Wednesday reports on a good reason to celebrate. Look at Hexablooms, below:

I have made the final hexagon piece.

I added it to the flower that will be in the lowest right-hand side corner.

Here I am joining the sections together with needle and thread,

Voila!

Now, it should be time to celebrate. Alas, the quilt is only halfway finished.

Here is the list of things yet to do: 

1) join the blocks together into a long 'snake' = row #17

2) add the long snake to row #16, and the flimsy will be complete

3) stitch on a turn-over binding edge for the backing.

4) sandwich with batting and backing, or think of a creative new idea for the back...

5) quilt with embroidery stitches, using metallic thread

6) embellish the white pieces with something metallic

7) add some form of hanging sleeve

78) display on the wall

What year shall we set the goal at? 2027 or 2028?

 The cloth is slowly gaining stitches, a small step at a time.
