I have been working on my "everything stops for tea" wallhanging. After I had stitched the teapot, cup and saucer in place, I added the borders
I then layered it with wadding and stitched the wording
I kept the quilting simple, stitching round the shapes and in the ditch round the borders.
then I added some little lines to suggest steam coming from the cup. I drew them on thin paper and pinned the paper on, then stitched over the lines. The paper tears away easily
the last job was to add the binding ....... apart, that is, from writing the pattern!
I have also been working on Lillyanny. I added a fence at the bottom of the tree (it shows up better on the detail)
I layered it with wadding, and started stitching round the tree ..... this is a detail
I bought these little squares from Anne's shop when I was there before the holiday
I have an idea for another little wallhanging ....... but you will have to wait to see what will be in the middle!
in the evenings I have been working on the applique block for the Abbey Quilters raffle quilt
it's good to see a full design wall!
