Sneak peeks at a WIP that I started on monday... There's the new sewing table in use and I can fold it up and slide it away. I still prefer my round bistro table by the window for tea time.
I found that I am a bit rusty when it came to the free-motion quilting. I definitely need some more practice! My swirly lines were a bit wobbly but I left them because that's part of the charm... right?! I enjoyed the hand-embroidery which I took with me to the park today. I even had time to work on it because today Claire finally figured out how to swing all by herself!
Meet my new teacup and floral pillowcase. I found them for a great deal at a second hand shop last week :o) I think this is the prettiest teacup I have ever seen! I am trying to decide whether or not to cut into the pillowcase to make a pendant garland for above the window in my tea room as was the intended purpose...
your stitching is perfect, and I love that little tea cup! I bet the pillowcase will look wonderful as a garland above the window!
ReplyDeleteThat really is a sweet little cup! How nice to take your stitching to the park and watch your daughter swing! Love it.
