I have decided I will do only 9 blocks to make a square wall hanging.
The next one I am doing is the watering can. I have glued on the pieces ready to sew.
I am joining Mel at The House on the Side of the Hill and several others doing this wonderful design.
I have decided I will do only 9 blocks to make a square wall hanging.
The next one I am doing is the watering can. I have glued on the pieces ready to sew.
Spent some time this afternoon tracing the pieces onto freezer paper then ironing them onto the felt. Later, at night I glued all the pieces in place.
Just finished off my second block. Block 6 in the pattern. As good as finished anyway. I just need some dark orange to top off the tea cup.
Managed to spend about an hour stitching details onto block 6. I need to buy some more colours of thread so I can match the felt better.
I got my new felt today and it is not as nice as the pure wool felt. It is thinner and therefore not as firm but then it is about a quarter of the price. Hopefully it will sew up OK.
I spent yesterday afternoon sewing on all the bits. I so love the look of it. I have a couple of other things backed up so even though I really want to do some of the stitchery on this block I will have to leave it for a few days.
I used freezer paper to cut out all the bits. Not sure if it will be reusable. It gets a bit furry from the felt.
Nearly out of spray baster. I can't survive without it.
All the bits stuck on ready to sew around. Might have to free motion stitch all these bits since they are so small and curvy.
