I have been smocking and it made me look in a box that has not been looked at for a while. Found these two patterns and decided to pull them out. Also sorted through some scraps and my stash of fabrics. A collection of colours has been started for making these two quilts. The patterns use black fabrics?
The Sewing Cafe have a beautiful collection of black prints, they have a large collection of white prints with colours too. Which is what I am leaning towards more than the black.
Picked up the Fox and Rabbit mystery stitch along project which stalled around August of last year.
Also pulled out the yellow and blue blocks, have cut a lot of blocks with the rest of the fabrics to make more blocks to create a quilt.
the ground hog here said no to early spring yet the winter weather is going through the same cycle as always here cold a week, warmer a week, colder, warmer
ReplyDeleteThe groundhog is seldom correct, sadly. However, it looks like you have lots to keep you busy.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy, Maggie. I learned smocking many years ago just enough to make a band on dresses for both my girls. I enjoyed the process very much. Those project designs look stunning. Lovely cross stitching and blocks too and isn't it wonderful to have a head full of plans!
