The second hand sewing project was to blanket stitch the applique on these basket blocks. I completed 3 and started on the fourth.
I was able to find only 5 hours this week to sit with needle and thread and sew... but I am happy with what I accomplished so far.
Here is a picture of my well-used chair... next to it is my hand-quilting-in-progress (Rosewood Cottage) quilt and hoop. I didn't get to work on this project as I can't find my hand quilting thread! It will have to wait until next week when I'll have time to get to town and find some.
Here are just a couple pictures of some of the quilting I have done on it in the past. Mostly outline stitching and cross hatching. I got braver as I went along and on the pinwheel block I did a heart shaped kind of thing.
That's it for last week... I'll report back next week on this week's tasks.
Your table runners look cute. I made 8 of them a couple of weeks ago for shop samples. Now I need to make some for me/gifts.
ReplyDeleteYour hand quilting is looking good. So are your baskets. I have to find mine, I need to stitch down those stems too.
Great idea to work on different projects and not just one huge one. It's always fun to have a finish. Love your applique baskets, by the way! They are gorgeous!
