FRIENDS & FLOWERS STITCHERY

Hello to all! We just watched the space ship launch from Kennedy Space Center. Well, to be more accurate, we watched what you can see from our backyard. There were some clouds and we lost sight of it sooner than some of the views of launches we have had. Still interesting to see.

I just completed a project. It is a stitchery called "Friends and Flowers" and is a Bareroots design. The stitchery will fit into a 5"x7" frame. I found this frame at a thrift store for $1.00 and it is 8"x10" but had the mat with the cut outs in it. The main opening was the right size so I covered the heart cutouts with the same pink fabric that frames the stitchery and made it work.
A couple days last week, I worked on covering triangle shapes with selvage edges that I have been saving from my fabrics. It was fun to do. Sort of like eating potato chips. You can't eat just one. I kept making triangles until I ran out of suitable pieces to sew on.
The triangles will be used to make basket blocks like the one shown here. I have only made one basket block so far. I am not in a rush to complete the project.
I have completed two more stitchery basket blocks and will show them in another post. I also am working on a Cheri design called Sewing Seeds. I don't have enough done on it to show just yet.

Thanks for stopping by. Come again soon!
