Happy Mid-Week & Started on Next Slow Stitch

   We have been spoiled with two days of very warm weather, today much cooler with lots of rain, thinking we will miss the bad storms coming through. Seems a bit early for tornadoes already-but they hit areas of Illinois that we are familiar with last night.

  I finished the first area on my third bag this morning. Going forward with the bags I have a mish mash of different fabrics-some gifted to  me, some I bought on Etsy, still a few of my own hand dyes, and Kantha fabrics to choose from. I finished an area that the fabric is probably a polyester-I don't usually work with fabrics like that but the dyer had an assortment in her hand dyed collection.

  When working on the last bag I had bought an assortment of plastic shapes used for quilting. I liked that each package had a large one down to a small one.  The one I used here was like a flower or a circle with scalloped edges. With the background colors on this hand dyed piece not sure the design will show up-but I liked the results.

 (photos will enlarge just click on them)




I totally forgot to take photos of my last bag-but my friend that I gifted the second bag to took gorgeous photos of it can view here  These look so professional


  Soon I will open up the box with my new battery lawn mower-with all this rain and warm weather we have been getting I will need to try it out soon.

Happy Mid-Week
