I am back from my Level 3 Stitch class. The class was great although the return trip was a bit of a struggle due to weather. We sat for two hours on one of the passes due to snow and crazy drivers. But we made it safe and sound.
I started this applique piece in class. It’s based on shapes and rings from stump photos. I have a bunch of those types of photos and this isn’t really one stump, it’s a combination of several. This has been basted down but I haven’t started stitching yet. I have to work out where I want the lines of stitching to go, what color and size of threads to use and what hand stitches to use. Lots of decisions yet before I jump in and start stitching. Hopefully, by next week, I will have made some progress.
Have a great weekend!
Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
Me too! 😉
Looking good even with just the basting stitches – always best to let stuff ‘sit’ for a while if you’re unsure of your direction with it.
Thanks Lyn, I am going to try some stitch samples to see what gives the right look.
Looks interesting. I look forward to seeing the progress.
Thanks Marilyn, I’m in the process of figuring out the stitching.
Interesting thus far, I wonder how this will evolve- no doubt you will keep us posted. Glad you got back safely.
Thanks Antje, worked out some stitch ideas on paper and now to do a few samples. It was a treacherous trip home but all’s good that ends well. 🙂
