It was great to get together with my friends for an afternoon of stitching on Sunday.
First a little show and tell. Three more stitchers finished their pin cushions. The green one with the multicolored leaf has a bell inside. They are so creative!
The stitcher who had finished her two pincushions last time, brought her crazy quilt stitch kit progress to show.
The current project is the drawn thread and chicken scratch on gingham. You can find out how to do this with a wonderful tutorial on Mary Corbet's blog.
If you look closely at the black and white blouse, you can see chicken scratch from an earlier time. You can see a close up of the blouse on this post.
Chicken scratch patterns have to be decided on, in addition to the drawn thread.
It's great that your group not only follows the recipe, but also comes up with ideas.
ReplyDeleteThose are the sweetest pincushions. I think the gingham project will be lovely!
