I've been machine embroidering work designed by my year 4s (8 and 9 years olds) at school:
This takes ages and doesn't give me much to do expect change threads every so often. I can't really wonder off as then it sits waiting for me to do the thread, so it's better if I can stay in the sewing room doing something else . . .
What to do?
Well this time it was easy
I stitched together the strips of teal brown and white, and then (hope you are sitting down) basted AND QUILTED!!
The quilting lines may best be described as organic, but they are roughly 1.5 inches apart. I had thought of this top as Aqua, or Turquoise,but neither of those quilting threads matched at all, so this is a Teal top, quilted in white!!!!
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.
Way to go, Benta!
