white block #1
I've
always wanted to make a white patchwork quilt with little bit of
colour but didn't know where to start so this idea went back to the
sketch book.After a year and lots of doodles,scrambled ideas,sketches I came to
a conclusion that if I don't start it now then I'll never do it. I've
decided to use white fabric scraps from my dresses..so I guess this
will be a sort of memory quilt.
Here
is the first block...
top
half of the block-crocheted circle with some french knots,kantha
stitches and pleats,fly stitches..
bottom
half of the block-pin tuck,piping,bullion loops, needle lace, a
shisha mirror, blanket stitches,sheaf stitches,ribbed wheel,cross
stitches,herringbone with running stitches over a seam...
close-ups
Happy
stitching!

mystery project a.k.a floral wreath
We've
had heavy rains this season which is very good..almost 20 cm rainfall
was recorded this week in the place where I live..
I
had to stay indoors most of the time so I spent my time planning some
new projects, weaving and adding more stitches to the floral wreath
project..
so far a quarter of the wreath is completed.
