We had our school fete yesterday, and I pinned all the finished-so-far A to Z blocks on a big notice board, and they looked FAB! But you'll have to take my word for it as I forgot to take a photo :-(
I can show you a mosaic but even that's not complete as A, R and W all arrived at school yesterday, but you can see it's getting there (shame mosaic maker cuts off part of the image, they are all complete, honest!)
I took my Baby Brother embroidery machine along, and mum and I sat in the sometime sunshine, me embroidering names on flannels and her tying off the loose ends on the Ladders Quilt that . . . wait for it . . . someone bought! Fancy That!
(Thanks mum, terrific job done there!)
After a few hours of occasional threats, it did actually start to rain, so mum and I packed the embroidery machine away with a few unfinished orders, so I thought I'd show them here. And for all who are (quite justly) concerned about my ability to put the right name on the right item, I *think* I have then right this time!
I just need to trim the jump stitches, and then these flannels can go into school tomorrow
Do look at all the lovely coloured flannels mum and I got
Rainbow heaven :-)
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Oooh, loving that rainbow :o)
ReplyDeleteNice stack of flannels - and a lovely idea! The alphabet is really coming along, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteLovely day, lovely colours and the A-Z will be wonderful once you have got the last ones and can do the sashing! x

ReplyDeleteLovely colours in the flannels! Well done on the sale, it was of course your Mum's finishing off that swung the sale!
