Stained Glass Wall hangings - 2

Well ,as promised this is truly a stunner.  After embroidering the last 4 panels, the wall hanging could be assembled.  So, if you want to embroider one of these beauties, you can find the designs here.

Below are photo's of the other 4 panels before assembling.

 And now on to the next one before framing...

Spiral Burst 6

With only 13 more strips to go, this one is almost done.

But while ironing, I discovered this mistake - a first for me...

But luckily it was an easy fix.  So now, to finish the last few rows.

Twisted Pole Table Runner

As our Shadow Trapunto Quilts are almost finished, our quilting group decided to make a table runner under the direction of Elsa de Wet, one of our Rotary Cut group members.

So, after selecting fabric

cutting and stitching, we had 5 centre blocks assembled and ready for the next step.

This one is mine, followed by

Hanlie's,

Frances,

Marietjie,

Elsa,

and Rika's runner.

Summer Lily 5

After finishing all the strips and diamonds, it was time to start putting this baby together.

4 border print triangles added in the centre

and diamonds added around the outside

No progress on this quilt however this week as the migraines is getting to be a weekly thing.

Stack and cut squares jacket - 1

I downloaded this pattern about a year ago and have been itching to stitch one.  So, I rounded up some off cut cosmos fabric my Mother gave me a few years ago and started cutting, stitching and squaring.

400 4x4 inch squares ready for the next step

which is stacking and cutting them into 800 pieces

and after some serious string piecing

ended up with a big heap of fabric ready to be ironed, squared and stitched together in panels.

And this is what I am working to.

Stained Glass Wall hangings - 1

It's a new day and a new project under way.  With no embroidery projects waiting to be finished, I looked at my Embroidery Wish List and decided to start with these beautiful wall hangings.

With today being a public holiday, I manage to embroider half of the panels needed for this wall hanging which will be 14.2" x 19.8" (35.5 x 49.5 cm) once finished.

Each panel measures approximately 6" x 8" and took between 70 to 140 minutes each stitching time, with an average of 15 thread changes and between 40 000 to 80 000 stitches each as well as having to clear the odd crow's nests every now and then.  But it will be well worth it in the end.
