A Finish....
These pretties should have been on my
''things to finish in 2010" but i forgot about them....
I did the stitcheries last year as a BOM with IFQ and I have had them pinned in a plastic zip bag on my sewing room wall...
time to do something with them

So I made pillow cases... all my blocks have been stitched with variegated DMC embroidery thread as at the time I had no idea what I would do with them...the pattern was given out for a wall hanging at the end...
these will be so much more useful I think especially when they will be sitting up on my bed....
A close up... and you might just see the free form machine quilting I did in the borders with a variegated lime thread...
and I found I sewed these better with my feed dogs up???? and I did read in a book when I was having trouble that the author prefers to use hers up as well??
They look great Tarnyia what a great way to use them I still have mine in a zip lock bag mmmm? one day,I also find it better with feed dogs up I make such a mess of it the other way I suppose its whatever suits :)just having a cuppa and enjoying my visit with you

Those blocks are lovely and they look great as a cushion - much nicer than a plastic bag on the wall!!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting about the feed dogs .... I guess we all find our own best ways of doing things....

ReplyDeleteGreat idea Tarnyia. I admire anyone who can machine quilt. I keep trying and one day I will master it...maybe.
