Work In Progress Wednesday

New Start - The Quiltmaker from Lavender & Lace





Spring Bride is getting very close to being finished. I spent a lot of time outlining this week, but there is still more outlining to be done.




 

New Start - Huckweaving Practice

I've done Huckweaving before, but I kind of forgot how to do it. You can see one kitchen towel I made in 2015 here and another one here. I did this little practice piece on aida 14 fabric (front and back).  I have no idea how to figure out how much thread I need for each pass, without wasting too much.  If anyone knows, please help me.

You have a lot of interesting project on the go now. I love the quilter cross stitch!

As for how to calculate the thread length for Swedish Weaving, it seems you can find that from this book:
https://www.amazon.co.jp/Swedish-Weaving-Pattern-Directory-Needlecrafter/dp/1800922248
if you read the text from Needle 'n Thread.:

Especially helpful is information on reading the charted diagrams, tips on finding your starting point, squaring your edges, determining thread lengths, and more.....

Maybe it is worth getting the book!

I like the design of the new start kit. Japanese patterns are so beautiful.
