There's been a step forward on the landscape with the sky now being quilted and added (also done with circles). I've also added borders but the jury is out as to what I'll do with them. I do know that there will be lots of embroidery to come, along with a little surprise too.
- Some of you might find THIS of interest.
- I'm sharing THIS primarily because of how pretty they are, but you can print them for your own use if you'd like.
- Perhaps you'd like to have a play with THESE.
Today's quote is from Pope Francis..."I ask you to ensure that humanity is served by wealth and not ruled by it"
Your landscape project is coming along so well--I really like the circling idea...what kind of thread did you choose to use? I tried using reg. embroidery floss on outlining my Fish for Dark Days May prompt and it snarled, tangled, got uneven, broke, and knotted up no matter how I straightened it or even used beeswax!! I will be going back to my favorite perle No 8 cotton...am i the only person who has this problem, I wonder??? Anyway--Happy upcoming weekend hugs, Julierose;)))
ReplyDeleteThe brown circles were done with a #8 Valdani perle cotton and the sky circles were done with a thinner variagated pearl cotton that I think once belonged to my grandmother. It's been in my stash for more years than I can count and of course there's no label on it. It could even be a fine crochet cotton (which would make more sense because she knitted lace and trims for doilies). I generally don't have too much trouble with using floss - just be sure to separate the strands first before putting them back together to work with. For some reason that seems to help.
DeleteNow that bog coat really interests me. I love no waste simple design. Thank you for the link.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I actually was thinking of you when I posted it because I thought it might be something you'd like to play with.
DeleteGreetings MA: Nice progress on the circles, love the colors of fabric. Thank-you for the links, the bog coat is interesting.

At least I'm finally getting to use the rust fabrics I dyed many moons ago!
DeleteIt's always interesting to see the progress in your pieces. You do great work.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joy. It's endlessly interesting for me too because I never know what I'm going to come up with next.
DeleteThings are moving along nicely on your landscape.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It's reached the stage now where there's going to be a lot of handwork so progress will slow down for awhile.
DeleteHi, I am caught up on your posts. Enjoyed seeing your stitching progress on this project too. Thanks as always for the great links.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to share the links - glad you enjoy them!
DeleteLooking good, editor working or not. I like that quote from the new Pope, very timely for the world right now.
ReplyDeleteI think the problem with editing the photo is more about the fact that it's all pretty much the same colour.
