Hello from still a wet Kuranda in the FNof QLD?????
This week I’ve spent machine appliqueing down the flowers and fish on my Wrapt in Love Block, it’s slow going but very fast compared to hand applique.
I accidentally iron down my pink tulips upside down!!!!! they looked like barracuda fish to me so they have become Cheshire tulips? Remember my WIL is called Alice ?
Fish are slowly growing, I can not iron down more than two at a time as they just fall off in this weather with all the turning of the fabric? All these bubbles are machine appliqued down. I used a aqua metallic thread.
Ive just finished one of my men’s tie shoulder bags and the other only 10 mins sewing on the machine, may be today?
Two halves of a bag, just need to join these now and this bag will be finished too.
Top bag is now sewn together and ready for a new owner?
A sweet wee doily again makes a lovely wee pocket.
Large buttons added to help the wear on the bottom of the bag plus keeps it clean when put down on the ground????
Little dollies make fun and interesting wee pockets for inside of the bags, there is beautiful fine crochet around these ones?
This is one of the mens ties which forms the gusset of the bag. I leave in labels for interest, even though it’s inside?
One Finished bag.
A friend gave me this partly made wool floor rug, some one gave to her, who ever last worked on it, made quiet a few mistakes in the top left corner so I will unpick that area and start again, I started on it yesterday, hopefully finish it this winter? Even the hook was still in the box. Such a lovely floor rug to be?
In the garden this week?
Right in the middle of the photo two white cockatoos are stripping off the seeds from this palm, not to eat just stripping them off!!! they are such destructive birds and so so loud????
Repotted my desert rose tree, it’s been so wet I nearly lost it, hopefully now it’s sitting in shingle it will bounce back, those are rock crystal boulders on the top, front ones if you zoom in are cut in 1/2 and you can see the crystals? Those paves need a lot of help to, its been so wet mould and moss grow over night?????
I just sat here yesterday avo enjoying the late afternoon sun . We have not seen a lot of sun this year????
Thanks for stopping in to visit me. I’m off to sew now. Cheers Glenda
what a pretty garden I understand it can be too wet for some plants though – everything must really grow quickly – love bag with the big flower on it
Dear Glenda
You could do with ” Moss-be-Gone”. It is a product for getting rid of moss, which they sell in British Columbia. Love your tie bags. Machine applique goes so much quicker.
We have very hot and humid weather here, so no complaints. Our cat is not impressed with the humidity.
Your Wrapt in Love block is beautiful. Fun tulips ;)) and your fishes are a great adding. Pretty bags too!
Hi Fred lovely to see you. My block has come to a stand still as trying to finish part 5 of my Hold On to Your Heart and start part 6 before the 15th when part 7 is released???? I really have to much on my plate but these designs are so beautiful and Wrapt in Love is such fun too. One bag is compete and the other just needs a final seam done???? Cheers from Down Under where it is still raining. Hope your summer has finally arrived. Cheers Glenda
