Hello Quilt Friends! Rainy and cloudy here in the valley with fall leaves putting on an amazing show.
This week I've been hand stitching making progress on my Boro/Running Stitch Project which will be turned into various sewing accoutrements. I also finished my Biscornu pincushion sewn by hand and embellished with Sashiko, it was a challenge from my local hand stitch group.
And almost finished my iron on transfer embroidery, lemons. I love embroidered kitchen towels. It turns out a lot of my relatives do too.
And I'm hand quilting my Barn Raising Medallion with Borders Quilt. It's taken some time, and I'm almost done!
Debbie at aquilterstable has signed up for Tara Faughnan's Block Study Collective 2 a six month membership and has finished the Hourglass piece. It's superb. What a great opportunity for challenge and fun, right? I'm inspired. The Block Study 2's enrollment is now closed but will open again in 2025. Block Study 1 is open and you can choose to sign up for just one course or the whole bundle.
That's the quilt news from the valley. Do you have any almost finished hand stitching projects?
I'll be by to visit.
Thanks for the shout-out! ;-) I really love your little sashiko pin cushion and boro project. Ideas for when I need a handwork project!
ReplyDeleteI have seen many embroidered Biscornu pincushions but think that my pins would sink too deeply into the holes in the weave. So I have not made such a pincushion yet. Your idea is much more practical and I feel tempted to make one with even weave from my scrap collection.
ReplyDeleteThe colours in n your photo are ‘delicious’ - I love yellow on yellow, pink on pink and so on
We’ve got rain here too but it’s still too warm to be the end of October.
Enjoy the autumnal leaves.
Queenie
Love your boro stitching project. And am I right in thinking you will cut it up to make other small things?
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, that's the plan! Pincushion, needle case, scissor keeper....
ReplyDeleteI am taking the block study class too and heading to QuiltCon in February. Are you in the class?
ReplyDeleteGood job.
