We had a little workshop at our guild's open sew. We made these cute little pincushions.

I decided I wanted to try a crochet technique to finish the rug's edge. I prepared the linen by turning and sewing the linen to a 1/2 inch. I cut the strips of a navy wool and gave it a try. It was a challenge, until I found the right hook size that could do the job. I realized I didn't like a navy wool, it was too dark. So, I pulled it out and decided I would use my handmade navy wool from the background.
I definitely liked my hand-dyed wool better. I am making progress.

Those pin cushions are really cute. You've been moving along on the applique project. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteYour pincushions are cute, it's such a great activity to do together. Well done with Part A, love the log cabin chimney. Your hand dye yarn is lovely, and makes a neat finish for the rug!
ReplyDeleteI like the edging on your rug.
ReplyDeleteYou have quite a few applique blocks done. How many more are there?
