One of the first handcrafts I learned as a young girl was embroidery. I love looking at all of the quilts and projects out in blogland that combine stitchery and piecing. A few weeks ago, I received the pattern for a Christmas Hearts tablecloth that has both piecing and stitchery from my friend, Roswitha in Germany. Her quilts are beautiful, and she handquilts them as well. I love going to her blog to look at her quilts.
I was excited to get started, so I found my background, traced the design and started stitching. I finished the first stitchery and rinsed away the blue marks and gave the piece a good pressing. Then I took a look at the rest of the pattern so I could do the piecing. I guess I was so anxious to get started on this that I didn't see that the stitchery was to be on point. Roswitha said she had made the same mistake and has made her first stitchery into a cushion. So I will either do that or make a small wall hanging.
Wow! I wish all my goofs turned out to be so lovely!

What lovely stitching and glad you can find something to do with it. Maybe I should turn to stitching since I will be living in a hotel for a while?
ReplyDeleteLuAnn, your stitching is lovely..maybe you should make a needle/block book out of your block.
ReplyDeleteIts lovely, I am not very good at stitchery but admire people that do it well.

Dear LuAnn,
ReplyDeleteI love my "mistake"-cushion. In the meantime I've made two other cushion in the same style. I'll post the others in the next days.
Enjoy all you are doing today and have a nice day.
