My projects today

We are still having the most miserable cold rainy weather. Good for staying inside but not at all inspiring.

I really want to get some assessories done for my newly painted bedroom so at least that drew me into the sewing studio. I got the backing and the binding onto the cushion cover and I'm now sitting with it ready to stitch it down.

When my fingers get tired of stitching, I can pick up my knitting.

Since my latest art piece was laying under the needle of the other machine, I rolled over on my chair and did some lines of free motion stitching up and down the flowers and grasses to tack them down.

Being quite different from my other work, I changed how I would actually proceed although it looks much the same. I didn't like the sheen that the fusible gave off - I had ironed it to the right side of the base fabric-- so I cut quite a bit away and covered most of it on the bottom by ironing the strips on top.

I also backed it already with fusible batting and I'm stitching down the foliage, more to be added on top later. The lace will be painted and I will add fusible flowers. There will definitely be some buzzing, flying, and crawling creatures hidden amongst the flowers and foliage.

I hope you're having better weather than we are and you're enjoying your day.
