I have to say that I am rather pleased with the way this turned out. I think Aunt Pat would be pleased too. It was a challenge to work with so many prints so it taught me new things.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my blog! It means so much to me and I truly appreciate it! Whenever possible I reply to comments. warm regards Angela Princess Bubbles
I am still working away at attaching my circles to this piece. I have added some other stitching as well. I am very keen to add some beading to this one but that must wait. Beading needs to be the last step. I don't need the frustration of my threads getting snagged on the beads. Progress can feel oh so slow. Especially when it is because I am distracted by other projects! I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
I started this collage-style fish this week. Such a fun little project. I have no purpose for this fish at the moment but I do love an underwater theme. I love working with bright colours as well as blues and greens. I am sure I will find a fun home for this fish eventually. I am excited to start adding beads and sequins but there is more embroidery to be done first. Plus, that tail needs some work. I think I have some funky yarn that will work nicely. Oh, how I love to embellish! I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
I enjoyed stitching my September slice. I got out my book by Carole Samples Treasury of Crazy Quilt Stithes. It has wonderful combinations of stitches. I have had this book for years and never properly used it. It uses basic stitches in interesting combinations. So, I didn't really learn any new stitches but I did enjoy combining stitches in new ways. I might find that more helpful in the long wrong. The weather has still been cooperative for stitching outside. The week ahead looks good too. I might get a jump start on my October slice. It is sad to think about putting away the deck furniture but it can wait at least a week. I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
Fabulous! The rich centre is just perfect.
