Quiltie Beginning


Started stitching on my dyed fabric on top of felt (great way to use up odd coloured felt that I inherited from my mother).....had a frustrating beginning as the stitch I wanted to do wouldn't form. Since my machine has that major work on it this is the first time I've tried using fancy stitches. They always used to form properly. I remember now when I tried to do eyelets they didn't join up but I thought it was just me so did something else.

Anyway this stitch is working though not really forming the larger leaf properly. The piece is larger than the 6x6 as I made it big enough that the cut off bit will be the base of a postcard.

Back to stitching....it is rather time consuming!
