I've restarted the stitcheries on the Christmas Hearts tablecloth, and here is the first one done on point like the other one should have been. The heart stitcheries go on the corners of the pieced table cover, and if I hadn't been so anxious to get started on the project and would have studied the pattern a little bit better beforehand, I would have realized that they should have been done on point. I've enjoyed doing some redwork again.
These are some of the fabrics that I plan to use in the tablecloth. My camera is one of my favorite quilting tools. I can tell a lot about the value and shading and how fabrics or blocks will look together by taking a photograph and putting it up on my computer screen. I sometimes use a reducing glass, but to get an overall idea of what a project really looks like, I use a photo. That way I can back away from the screen and get a much better idea of what a quilt or fabric grouping look like together.
Hope you are all ready for Christmas and can take a break to do a bit of stitching!
Dear LuAnn,
ReplyDeletenice redwork stitchery. The choice of fabrics is wonderful. - First I have to finish only two christmas gifts and than I'll finish the tablecloth. I hope it will be finish before christmas!!!
Tomorrow is the last day at work for me, and I enjoy to have holydays until January 10th. I'll do some stitcheries and looking for a new project. But first I have to bring all my fabrics in right position.
What's with you, everything all ready for Christmas?
Have a nice day and take care
Roswitha
Hello LuAnn!
ReplyDeleteYour redwork heart is wonderful and the fabrics are amazing! It will be very lovely quilt, I'm sure! Thanks for sharing! I'm on the finish: my Xmas "collection" will be ready tomorrow! (I hope so) Have a nice week and a wonderful Xmas-time. Györgyi
Such a pretty stitchery. It is a shame you had to do it again, but I'm sure you will find some use for the first one. You have a great selection of reds. It is so much fun to collect fabric for a specific purpose.
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be a lovely table cloth........ I do so enjoy a bit of redwork. It adds just the right touch..... Perhaps you can use the extra heart for a pillow.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! Did you decide how to use your oopsie block yet?
ReplyDeleteLuAnn this is going to be one lovely tablecloth...
ReplyDeleteDear LuAnn, your redwork stichery is very nice.

Show us how it works your machine!!!
I have time, at long last, to relax and stitch a little; all the Christmas commitments have been met, all the errands run. Redwork is one of my favorite types of stitchery, yours will be spectacular!
