Hi Everybody
I have been happily sewing my EPP’s for the Heartstrings Quilt by Natalie Bird of Birdhouse Designs and have completed Two Dresden Plates which are a new design for me. Also sewed the majority of small hexagons for the second border on the design. The really small 1/2″ hexagons are quite fiddly.
The middle of the Dresden Plate is not sewn on yet. Is there a good way to sewn these? Appreciate any ideas. I am placing circles on five of the plates and only having four plates with applique designs. Another deviation from the design but I think it will look ok. The material is French Mill by Andover Fabrics.
I have also sorted through my old x-stitch patterns to find the thread as didn’t really want to purchase these. The design uses Cosmo Threads but I will be using DMC with colours that suit my material so might be some changes.
Not very clear – sorry!
These are my chosen borders for the stitchery designs making up the first border.
So much still to do. I haven’t even cut out the designs for the third border. Might make some changes there as well. Artistic License I suppose! I like the original but want to make it my own. Do you tend to change things with a design?
The other item I have been working on is Winter Queen X-Stitch which was my mothers but she has given it to me. There are some beading and some fluffy cotton required – so not straight forward.
Well that is all from me for this post.
Take care
Daisy
