Slow Stitching Sunday
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/
Your book is gorgeous! What a fabulous idea. I had never heard the term abecedary before. Congratulations on your 100 posts.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous ! I can't wait to see what else you do, you are getting alot done considering the holidays are so near! Wishing I was getting this much done. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThe pages are really pretty Angie. Are you using a stamp for the letters? I like all the lace you are including and the puppies are adorable. What kind of paper are you using for the background?
ReplyDeleteYes, I am using a stamp set for the letters. On this page I used a piece of glossy paper that I applied a wax paper resist to and then inked. Or do you mean the plain beige cardstock that runs behind the lace? The lace runs between two layers on all the pages. It is actually what I used to 'bind' all the pages together.
