Bothy Threads Cut Thru SAL

This week I have managed a bit more.

I added some yellow to the light house rays and then when I was sick of yellow I started on finishing the roof of the "lean to". It as really lovely to stitch something different, even if it is block colour.

Pop o re to Debbie's blog to see how everyone else is getting on.

Light houses and doggies

I love this light house stamp as I have mentioned before, a gift from my lovely friend Linda, who is coming up next week for a holiday which is very exciting as we should be able to make some more happy memories. On our list is Hansons the fabric shop at Sturminster Newton, can't wait.

The other two cards are using a little dog stamp I picked up somewhere.

Cut Thru SAL

I haven't much to show this week, but it's more than last week which was nothing,

This week I managed some yellow, only about 100 stitches and a tiny bit of back stitch....

I wonder what everyone else has managed to do.

Sugar block number 5

It's the last Friday of the month and the day for showing the Sugar Block of the month that Linda, Wynneth and I are taking part in this year - one block a month designed and instructed by Amy Gibson - it's still not too late if you wish to join the group.

 I actually finished my block for May on the 12th which I am rather smug about and sometimes it has literally been a lastminute.com affair which I don't like!

I made it larger by adding strips to each side in the same fabric and then quilted it.  I used straight lines across the triangles, a swirling circle in the middle and then stippling elsewhere.

Here is my free motion quilting, circle on the middle, straights on the triangles and wiggles on the ribbon.

I then made it into a cushion with French seams and over lapping back which I prefer to having to put a zip in.  It is sitting on the bed embellishing my quilt.

You can just about see the seam on the back which over laps.

And here it is.  It is my intention to make last months block into another cushion as well when I get around to it.    I am enjoying getting some practice in of FMQ.  K x
