The original pattern was done using 1930's reproduction prints but I wanted to use a pack of Charm Squares that I had and my Cottage Garden threads for the stitcheries. I did the stitcheries on white linen. Here are some closeups of the stitcheries. I love the Cottage Garden variegated threads.
I am rather pleased with how the tablerunner turned out. And it is just for me. I also completed the 4 Gail Pan pincushions I had made stitcheries for.
I completed a birthday present I have been working on for a girlfriend but I cannot show it to you until next week because chances are she will look in here and I want it to be a surprise. Last week I completed another Henrietta Whiskers block and also realised that I hadn't appliqued the sign on a previous one I showed you, so here they are.
AND 3 more Farmer's Wife blocks.
Okay, away from the sewing now. I couldn't resist buying some more lovely yarn and a knitting pattern. The cotton is to make a vest for myself and the 2 balls of Noro are to make a scarf.
The knitting bag was from one of those discount stores. I need a few bags for different knitting projects just like I need a variety of project boxes and bags for my patchwork and quilting. Do you have heaps of bags and boxes to keep things in order?
Thanks for visiting again. I love your feedback as it keeps me inspired. I also enjoy looking at your blogs too. Angel Blessings.
I love the tablerunner, the stitcheries on them are gorgeous. You've had a very productive weekend!

ReplyDeleteWow Ondrea, some absolutely gorgeous work there ... I love the table runner, and the HW ... everything in fact!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you have been productive. Congratulations, your finishes are lovely. I particularly like the tablerunner, the colours are superb as are the stitcheries.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work, Ondrea. Boy you have been busy, and how beautiful are those pincushions? Seems a shame to stick pins in them. :)
