WISPs

Today I have two more completed WISPs to show.

1. LOG CABIN CUSHION


2. LITTLE SCRAPPY QUILT


Of course Oliver had to appear for the obligatory sniff!



I keep finding more and more WISPs to work on. It's scary really. I have decided to finish this little Christmas stitchery made from a pre-printed panel.

It's not that obvious in the photos but I have stitched over all the running stitch with black embroidery thread.

I went mad making these one Christmas. Here are a few I prepared earlier!




I also dragged out this flannel flimsy which will become a throw for the lounge.



This is my one and only flannel project - some of the fabrics are Thimbleberries. Not sure why this never got finished as I still like it.



I have a big piece of dark green flannel which will make a nice border. I don't want to have to buy backing fabric so I think I'll try and piece something from all the top leftovers. May or may not work!



Happy Australia day to all the Aussies. I have students singing at an Australia Day concert and Award ceremony tonight so off to rehearsal this afternoon.

  10. You really are keeping your fingers busy, arent you? *lol* Both the cushion and the little quilt looks great! And so does your little stitchery-panel-projects! The fabrics in the flannel quilt top is really yummy! How do you feel about working with flannel? I love the way it works well with the needle in the sewing machine and the way it press, but it is really heavy to quilt...
