I've still been enjoying a little slow stitching in the evenings now and then.....continuing with the English paper piecing squares.
This time I'm using batiks.....I love the vibrant colors and textured patterns. When I get a good variety of colors I'll start stitching them together.
But I also did a little experiment with some metallic fabrics and made a little Christmas tree ornament. What I like most about it is that it is all done by hand....while slow stitching.
After I stitched the squares together I added a felt backing.....a little stuffing and a few beads.
I made it for my friend Anne....we were supposed to get together with her and her husband Dana this evening....but ended meeting virtually instead....but I did show it to her on screen.
Anne had given me this little bauble she made in an online class with
Izzy Moore....and I wanted to make something for her tree.
