Bib Had to use my new snaps. Bib is not ITH, but done the old fashioned way. Used flannel for the back, towelling for the front, with a design that matches one of the prints on the flannel.
Towel with Dragon. Had to do a towel and two pieces of fabric for a small dice bag. The great difference in size asked for a different stitch: a double run in the small one that was 98 mm high, a "floss" stitch (stitching each stitch 7 times) for
Pincushion. I loved Sue's appliquéd flowers hand made style. I could not resist trying out if I could place the applique fabric as nicely as she did. Four years ago I made a flower design to adorn a scarf for my daughter (see picture 2) I took that
January challenge. Little purse to go with the dress I made my granddaughter. I made the pattern for the purse and digitised the design. It was quite a challenge to get the fabric into the metalwork - it kept slipping out, but I won. And I bought half
Christmas ornament. Just had to do one by hand.
Biscornu Did not need a pincushion at all, but could not resist making one. Material is upholstery fabric. It embroiders well so I think I'll make a cover for a footstool next.
Sue's December challenge I hope this was one of the freebies. Anyway this lovely design transformed a cheap fleece to something special. I wanted the penguin to be off-centre and walk into the fleece (size 110-116), but I should have been more rad
Bib. My neighbour asked me to make (yet another) bib. I've made loads of them, with or without the cut at the back - not just for her - and usually save the cut-out circles. Some of those I use for appliqué. But among the ones I had there was not
Christmas ornaments ITH Made another variation, holly this time. I have yet to stuff them and add a loop.
Christmas ITH ornaments. Made the red ones first and added the bow before I did the white ones, which I filled a bit more than the reds. Second picture are the ones I did last year.
BIb. Designed and made this bib today.
Skirt 2 for granddaughter, who wanted a blue skirt for her Anna outfit as well as the green I made earlier. See link. Placement was a bit trickier on this one due to the shape of the skirt. Now to do a dress for a 7 yr old grandniece.
Bib I had to test a design and I had embroidered a design off center on a guest towel. I killed two birds with one stone: tested the design and made something useful from the towel.
Quilt. Couple of years ago my SiL bought me some 25 - 35 cm pieces of Vlisco fabric in the factory's personnel store for a pittance. I used 6 pieces and added two plain fabrics, the orange and the green, and used the Hidden Wells pattern. It resulted
Quilt Years ago I started a mile-a-minute quilt, but was not too keen on the results. I decided to do something with it after all, if only for practice, so last week I cut blocks from the pieced fabric pieces. You are supposed to cut them on an ang
