I think I've got it at last !! I didn't use any adhesive backing, hooped the fabric and cut away stabiliser together, floated another piece of tear away underneath, and although I can see a tiny pucker, I've decided that a blind man would love to see i
I gave this one to my cousin who wanted it for his wife, but he insisted on giving me something for it because he knew how much work went into it. So I am now the proud owner of one of those mini irons, the sort you can use inside the hoop!
Photo stitch of Elvis that I did in 2009. Someone in Q & A was asking if anyone had done photostitch.
Made for a friend, lots of stitches, but a pleasure to embroider !
Didn't take long for me to get bored doing nothing, so embroidery wins !
Machine cross stitch Vermeer's Girl with a pearl ear ring waiting to be tidied up and framed.
My fifth, and definitely my last, quilt ! Draped over the sofa, because it's too much for me to hold up!
My third one. Got a couple of puckers each end of the skirt, but after 152 minutes, I won't lose any sleep over that !!
What I did today! 125 minutes stitching, 42,487 stitches, 27 colour changes ! Talk about jump in at the deep end !!
A cot quilt I've made recently, one of three, but I want to do some embroidery on plain squares, instead of buying printed fabric, but I am having problems with applique, puckering on the base fabric, and this will not do for me !!
My single sized quilt finished at last ! 247 five inch blocks. Chantelle's design.
OK! You've seen the three cot quilts I've made recently, here's the double size I made a year ago! Looks complicated, but it was the easiest one I made, and it now belongs to a very good friend of mine!
