ok, i'm hooked on stitching right now
you all know, i dabble in everything crafty
and i often get hung up on one thing or another
right now it just happens to be stitchery
i found the Christmas SAL via Nola's blog
there are 5 blocks out right now and i'm done with 2
3 more to go to be current and by then another one will be out
it's one a week for 8 weeks
you know how i don't like to follow the rules, i'm a rebel of sorts, i guess
she's doing all her's in red
since it's for Christmas and i love GREEN
i'm doing red and green
she put batting behind her block for a quilted look
i didn't
she also put french knots on the ends of the letters
i hate french knots....ugghhh
i should say, i hate my french knots
i'm sure there is a easier way to do them than what i'm doing
anywho.........
i'm loving these blocks
Hi Tonya, how beautiful! I enjoy doing embroidery too. I also loved the picture of your thread bobbins. Doesn't it feel good to have our yarn and thread all organized? I just got done reorganizing my supplies too. Have a lovely evening! Delisa :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Tonya! It will make a fabulous quilt when you are finished with it.
ReplyDeleteVery cute----though about stitching, but haven't taken the plunge. Maybe soon.
ReplyDeleteThose look great Tonya.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way about french knots. But after watching this video http://artfabrik.blogspot.com/p/stitch-videos.html it made so much more sense to me.
