Well the last couple of days have been spent finishing of some projects. The sewing machine worked overtime today doing the stippling on Friend-Sheep quilt.
I will have to look out for a hanger for this quilt. I think I may hang it in the laundry. It will brighten the room up no end.
Yesterday I finished of this small quilt for the top of my washing machine. I added an extra block to each row so it would fit the top of the machine perfectly. I used some insul-bright wadding to it as I use the top of the machine to do ironing when I am sewing. The pattern is called "Washing Day" by Lyn Briggs.
Also in the "Washing Day" pattern is this cute one for a Hand Towel. I love the multi-coloured ric-rac. I was lucky enough to win the pattern from Lyn. Thanks Lyn.
Last week I challenged myself to finish this cross stitch by Friday, well Friday I had my sewing day so was unable to finish it. It was completed on Saturday evening. So I don't think that was to bad. Just have to look out for a frame for it. The OPAM challenge certainly keeps us motivated and on our toes. I hope you all have a great weekend.Happy sewing.

ReplyDeleteWow, Bev, you certainly have been busy! I love all of your finished projects, especially the quilts. The Wash Day embroidery reminds me of vintage "red work", something I come across in my antique hunting expeditions.
