A Little Progress
My mum has been staying with me this week to help celebrate my birthday. We have had some lovely days out and eaten a fair amount of cake! It has meant however that I haven't had much time for any sort of stitching, I did manage a little on my Robin...
and I have started to add the metallic threads to my Swans, I am glad I have finished the silk shading, I do think I am getting better, but I still have a long way to go!
I have lots of quilting projects that I want to work on, but don't have time for two hobbies at the moment! I am really enjoying learning to embroider, but I miss appliqué and hand piecing, I am going to try and have set days when I work on either quilting or embroidery. I haven't had much luck in the past with rotating projects but I will give this a go and see how it works, perhaps if I drastically reduce my wip pile it would seem so overwhelming!

Your robin is exceptional! I love embroidery and find it a nice change from quilting...hoping to do some applique in the New Year...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteAmazing embroidery work! Stitching and birthday celebrations sound like a fun time to me :)
ReplyDeleteBoth looking gorgeous !!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that bird is just lovely! Love the swans too. You are just so good at this stuff! I hope I can do it too. :D Glad you've been celebrating with your mom!
ReplyDeleteI think you could marry the two techniques very well. I look forward to seeing your creations during the Needlequest. There's so much you can do using appliqué along with decorative stitchery - Japanese costume in February??=)
