I washed the new summer quilt I made for our bed - not really an event worth blogging about - but annoyingly what started off like this ...
ended up like this! Will I never learn that red runs? What I don't understand is why some cream turned pink and some stayed cream!
Following on from my embroidery of the pharmacy in the village, Lisa asked if I would do one of here soon-to-be house, to thank the owners! This is just a draft but it's heading in the right direction.
I need to cut back the greenery on the left and move things around a tiny bit so the window to the left of the door is visible, but otherwise it's not too bad
This photo appeared on FB: I love seeing little munchkins using their quilts!!
I have been working - admin work and embroidery for a friend / customer who runs this pre-school. 60 down, 20 to go before school starts back in September!
I had a socially distanced play-date with Tara and Lynne yesterday - lots of chat, lots of yummy food, lots of admiring Tara's crafty bits, and her crafty / office, and her (and Mat's) awesome Lego collection and we even managed some making!
And finally I have a new grand kitty - Niki picked up this ball of fluff yesterday - no name yet but rater cute isn't she!!!
I love the Summer Quilt. The pink squares look good. It is strange that some of the cream didn’t take the red dye. The embroidery of the houses are great. Lizzie is doing great work!
ReplyDeleteI think your quilt still looks nice. The pink squares look to be quite well spaced. I wonder what will happen next time it's washed...Your embroidery houses are fun and the baby and baby quilt are adorable. It will be nice to have all that extra storage and a new grandcat. She is is ever so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhilst I quite like the 'new look' quilt, I have some Synthrapol if you'd like to try it for removing 'loose dye'? Good work on your embroidery designs - they look amazing! Could be a whole new side line for you. Quite thread hungry though, I'm guessing! Love the i-spy quilts too, of course. And the cute kitty!
