My iron on transfer hand embroidery project, Biscornu pincushion hand stitched with Sashiko embellishment.


 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.
