What's In a Quilt - The Green Man - Part 11: Stuffed Appliqué

The eleventh block I will show is simply an appliqué face with stuffing inside the leaves. 

First I appliquéd the leaves using needle turn but left a small opening into which I fed the wadding. After closing the opening I did the quilt stitching on the leaves thereby keeping the stuffed wadding in place.

WIPW - Back to Normal

 This is another Work In Progress Wednesday report.

After having finished the birthday mandala, I am now back to normal, i.e. working on 


Mandala

where I started stitching Boucle Stitch along the Dresden Plate edge.

Sunday Stitch School - Lesson 267: Plaited Stitch

Welcome. 

Today let's do some weaving. Here is a nice stitch from Shannon of Badasscrossstitcher, the Plaited Stitch. Follow her clear tutorial here.

Or have a look at my photo instructions.











Here I used thick wool yarn for the weft, and it gives a very different look.




Homework:

Weave some magic on these samplers.
