That wasn't a good idea...

The fabric I am using for the triskele can stand only the coolest iron setting, otherwise it crinkles up.
Which means I can't fuse anything on it. :(
Apart from that: clock is on, keys are on and I am with that!

Background is done!

 

Lots of stitching, first the triskele was stitched with a blanket stitch, then the background was stitched in a free hand spiral design with variegated cotton "King TUT". 

Close up:

Beatles Songs

This is another project ready for the Musical Gems exhibition. 

Some time ago, I made 40 weekly postcards, these are the ones that feature Beatles Songs.

The cards are attached with small buttons and beads, after the exhibition they will be removed and returned to the rightful owner.

Getting on with it!

OK, work has to be completed in 3 weeks, time to stop faffing about, just do it! Thanks Nike...good slogan.
Here is my todo list:

• Clear work table
• New needle in machine
• Clean fluff from underneath stitch plate, maybe drop of oil
• Stitch Triskele on. It is silver, but I'll use a grey rayon or maybe a contrasting rayon. ?Black??
• Stitch on clock, stitch on balloon, stitch on apple.
• Discard twisted score, don't like it anymore

By that time, the work itself will tell me what it wants me to do and I'll tell you about it when it happens!!

I also need to make a couple of placemats for meals-on-wheels, a commitment Glen Rock Quilters made and I want to start swapping ATCs.

I did some swaps in 2004! Must have been ahead of my time.
