If you are just here for RSC then please feel free to scroll straight to the bottom!
Friday was not a hugely productive day as other things were happening. However I completed my Stitch Journal piece for the day after lunch. It was the 1st of the month so I was starting on a new 'page'. Squares this month and I filled this one with some simple rows of herringbone.
I am working with white/off white threads this month and pulled out my white box of threads to work with.
It's like a fine silk perle thread and I used it for the herringbone in my first square. It was a delight to work with I must say. Pearsalls the company intrigues me too as they are based in Taunton just down the road from me. They no longer make embroidery threads though, just concentrating on medical threads.
My brown leaf page is of course finished and here are a few pictures.
I did get some knitting done in the evening while watching TV - I made good progress up the leg of a new pair of socks.
As always I am using a West Yorkshire Spinners sock yarn, this one is called Kingfisher.
So that was my FNWFs - many thanks to Cheryll for hosting again this month.
In other news I have been busy quilting Wings - sorry no pics - and also had the sewing machine out during the week to quilt my Magic Lantern runner.
Trimming and binding to come but I must put this away for now - it is a Christmas present and I have a more urgent birthday present to produce!
Also I don't think I have shared with you all my RSC log cabins for the year. I laid them all out on the bed recently just for the fun of it - I have no intention of sewing them together until next year when I shall also have to find some sort of border fabric.
In fact, now that I look back - I don't seem to have shared pictures of my October brown log cabins, so here they are.
Well that is me all caught up for now. Have a great week.
Lovely to see your stitches and read your thoughts on different threads. Your RSC blocks look great all together like that. I can see why they call that yar King fisher.
ReplyDeleteA fun lot of different projects, I love the new header! I am amazed at the assortment of threads there are to use. Your leaves all look lovely together and I'm looking forward to the whites...Great grouping of log cabins...

Such pretty little embroidery stitches! And it’s so special using inherited threads. I love how sewing connects us to family. The log cabin blocks will make a sweet quilt with those embroidered centers scattered around.
