Sitting at my machine early this morning .
Update:- What I woke up to day Thursday in OZ but still Wednesday up In the Northen Hemisphere!
All though I have a full day ahead of me I decided to sit and appliqué down one leaf at least this morning, if I do even 1/2 a leaf each time I walk past my machine I may get these leaves completed to day there are 16 leaves???? My week has been spent working on my Red and Green quilt top to be.
This is where I was up to on the weekend
Then I dreamt about my border as I was not comfortable with how they had done the original one. I had to start working on it straight away or I’d forget itLOL. So I grabbed the first blank paper I could find and started drawing or drafting may be? Note the centre area on the side of the border???
one needs a good pencil and rubber and stronger paper than I used in my hurry?
to get a feel of it I’ve added unturned circles so they are very big over large circles!!!
I sat and needle turned circles and yet more circles every night and afternoon this week 165 up to last night!
I wasn’t happy with the centre area on the side of the border, so extened the vine from the corner rather than the vine coming from the centre side Rose?
That to me looks more flowing and softer. I sat up till late last night needle turning red circles but just could not manage the last 29 to finish this area. But I do like how it will look one dayLOL. I need to add more paper and extend the vine on the other side of the border and I have my border pattern complete. A great week for me. Now I have my Red and Green quilt top designed how I want it?
I managed to make the last 29 circles this evening to finish this side, now I need to make 60 more for the other side to finish it? But not this week LOL this shows me how it’s going to look.
I found time to appliqué dow by machine 7 Dragonflies this week too.
USing deep red for the body and head and a lovely aqua for the wings, we have a Dragonfly in these colours who flies around the swimming pool each summer in these colours.
IM so enjoying seeing my Dragonflies evolve on my Dragon Tree Quilt.
They just glow.
Whats in the garden this week well not much LOL
As I walked out the door to take some garden photos the tourist train went past
Two trains come up here to our village each day.
A unusual plant that grows wild here like a weed.
airroots that need lopping back!
My giant Dragonfly you can see I like them LOL.
old faithful that gives a beautiful new gem every day.
with out the self sewn cosmo some days I would have very little colour around me.
- I was side tracked while taking photos noticed the corner of the section was completely closed in, I could not see the road or see any light this breeds mosquitos when you get dark spots in the garden so a small ladder and a saw was called for now I can see out. lOL
Spotted thi s fellow yesterday he did not want his photo taken kept moving a round the pipe. LOL.
I’m now sitting finishing off my blog on the front patio, this is my beautiful sky now at 11.30am. How lucky I am.
Off to link with Esther. Thanks for dropping in and joining me. Happy stitching till next week.
Cheers Glenda
