WOW or WIP’s with Esther 30th Jan 2020.

My first 3 blocks of Red Delicious.

Hi every one, I did think 2020 was going to be a great year, well quilting and sewing wise for me it’s been wonderful, my knee has improved so much I now can sit for several hours at the craft table sewing or drafting, I’ve been prepping my Red Delicious blocks like crazy and having so much fun, but not much sleep LOL. Sleeps in the day time stopped some where in the month !!!

Going to publish even though I have not done my caption, its all ready 1.30pm and I need to do some house work and prep dinner !!! Will write captions as soon as possible.

First up was I finished prepping my first block of Red Delicious.

Jhg

The white satin stitch was using white sulky thread and stitiching so so slowly and changing the width of the stitch constantly?

That satin stitch took me 10 mins LOL after nearly 2 hrs of trying all sorts of width’s and lengths samples LOL

But now I’m happy with the look? Used a colonial knot for the centre of the pupil!!!

Start of my prepping for block 2 of Red Delicious

Procrastinating over which colours to use for the wee caps over the Nightshade berries?

DO I put the darkest fabric in the front petal or the back petal!!! ended up in the front !!!

Yhh

Love these berry caps they remind me of flower fairy hats

Love making these leaves mad with two pieces of fabric they are so much fun putting two contrasting colours together.

Some how my 2 toned leaves became green toned ones????

Ygg

Loved how it just kept growing!!!!

Now to find time to machine applqiue it down???

Ggg

Prepping of block 3 of Red Delicious. Having to choose fabrics, design, and colour tones!!!!

This was my first choice but those seeds are two big!!!!

Liked these seeds but really not dark enough, you will see how I coped with this???

Yhhg

Ygg

Hhh

Ggg

Those pomegranate seeds are not showing up enough so going to twink them

Using a fine black marking pen I just went randomly and twinked those seeds????

You can see the difference here where I’ve twinked those seeds.

GYT

Now I’m working on prepping block 4!! Just hope it works out as I see it in my mind????

Fabric I want to use for the vase is not long enough so Ive had to work out a way to still use the fabric !!!! I’ve cut two pieces to make the vase but I want that join to be invisbale???
