A while ago I made a flimsy that I called sorbet squares. It looks lovely from a distance, but I'm not very pleased with the points: I used too big a stitch and some seams are pulling open.
So today, in between manning the road to slow down nutters driving through floods, and answering work emails (I worked out how to hack into the system from home), I had a little play with my embroidery software:
I created this flower applique, and used some of the left over sorbet squares to experiment with adding some flowers which coincidentally hide the dodgy seams
I really like these! So now I'm ready to finish the quilt, AND make a cushion to go with it
Another day!
(I think I may have to go back to work tomorrow: the floods levels are dropping in my village even though you are probably seeing lots of Wraysbury on the news still - and we did get a visit from some very nice (young) army lads checking up on all the residents, they must have wondered what the fuss was about - in the sunshine, walking on practically a dry road!!!!)
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.
Love your embroidery save! Glad to hear your water levels are diminishing. It looks awful on the news.
ReplyDeleteGreat that the water is going down and I am delighted to see you put your time to good use :-)
ReplyDeleteGotta love a fix that hides dodgy seams and looks great too :) Hope your waters keep diminishing!
ReplyDeleteSweet idea. What software do you use?
ReplyDeleteGreat 'fix' - it makes the quilt look really pretty, clever girl!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that the water levels are dropping - hope that continues.
So glad you are not swimming!
ReplyDeleteNice save with the flowers xxx
Yep, I keep yelling to John, that's where Benta is!! Good solution for the quilt too.
ReplyDeleteCunning plan for those points :oD
ReplyDeleteIf you're not getting rain, may I send you some of our snow? You know, for a bit of theme and variation...
