Quite a productive evening and a very enjoyable one too as DH didn't go out after all and so we both sat by the fire while I stitched and he read, very companionable. This followed a lovely lunch with DD, DGS and DSiL to be!!! It was only my second meeting with DSiL to be but it was apparent that things are going well and moving quickly, good for them I say.
Back to FNSI. I did some Feather Stitch for the TAST2012 project but, rather than a new piece this week I added the stitch to my existing Malta cloth (a piece I started after doing Jude Hill's cloth weaving course several moons ago). I think it works well, evoking the patterns in the stone of Malta's buildings.
I finished my "fat quarter frenzy" quilt which has now been christened "Still Waters Run Deep" and is destined for one of the guest beds at the bach in Norfolk. I'll take it with me when we open up at the beginning of March and hopefully we'll soon have family and friends joining us and sleeping beneath it.
The rest of FNSI was spent knitting and that's what I'm going to do now. DH has just made a pot of coffee, it's raining outside and blowing a hoolie, there's a casserole in the slow cooker and at 1.20 this afternoon they're showing Breakfast at Tiffany's on television so that sounds like a plan to me. Have a good one whatever you are doing.
your Malta cloth is very appealing to me. the feather stitch is a perfect way to blend all the colors. it's only in the past year or two that i've come to appreciate the range of orange colors. the shade in this cloth blends so well with the lighter tones.
ReplyDeleteStill waters run very deep and lovely! I haven't seen Breakfast at Tiffany's for many years.
ReplyDeletewow, you've been busy! Some lovely creations!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great FNSI! It sounds like the perfect way to spend an afternoon...
ReplyDeleteLike the feather stitching on your Malta cloth.
ReplyDeleteThe Malta cloth is beautiful, I would like to make a cloth weaving course, and of course the feather stitch is perfect and oh so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely simple machine quilting on 'Still Waters' - so appropriate too.
