The leaf on the left is done except for one little bit of black :D It is so much fun :D I love the colours and the shapes that are appearing in this. I haven't been working on this much because Phill asked me if I could make some toys for his friend's baby due in a month. Of course I said yes, it's a good excuse to stitch!
Now I had just bought this magazine and I loved the look of this quilt and I decided to turn the top and bottom halfs into a stuffed cube. I thought it would look wonderful. and it would be a toy.
It stitches up really quickly the first side only took 1 day :D though the backstitch around the outside took a little longer. I'm using a topstitch thread for the outer backstitch so it's strong enough to hold together with a baby playing with it.
But I still have been doing some work on Jardin Prive- Sampler Aux Fleurs
I still love working with this colour though I wish it would photograph properly! The colours never seem to photograph red enough.
So I have actually been busy :D Though not as busy as I would wish!

Great stitching! The baby cube is going to be so cute.
ReplyDeleteyou have some wonderful projects going. It is also so nice to stitch with all those different colors I think, like the bold colors for the baby stuff and the much darker colors on your other project! congrats on all this stitching.
ReplyDeleteBeatiful progress on Afternoon Tea..I always love to see HAED updates. And I love seeing more and more of Jardin...one day I will try that floss!
ReplyDeleteWOW! You've gotten a lot done. I love the idea of the cube for the baby toy. Glad it's going so quickly. =)
ReplyDeleteIt looks so great Caitlin! Spangler's are really great to stitch up - for whatever reason they're super fun to stitch. Maybe it's all the vibrant colors and fun shapes, I don't know.
ReplyDeleteThat is going to make such a wonderful toy - Can't wait to see it finished!
Cute idea with the stuffed cube! It is looking good so far :)
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on Afternoon Tea. I love the baby cube your making.

I think that's a wonderful idea, turning the squares into a couple of cubes. You could even add bells in the cube so they would make tinkling sounds ^.^
ReplyDeleteAfternoon Tea is looking mighty fine as does Sampler Aux Fleurs.
Hugs,
Veronica.
