Remember this one? I laid it out and ironed it into place back
here a few weeks ago. It didn't take as long as I thought it would. I have taken it over to dinner at friends houses twice and sewn as we sat there drinking our wine. And today being school holidays, we did have a
Madagascar marathon so got a bit done then!
It doesn't look like much from a distance, but close up it looks real pretty! Blanket stitch with two strands of matching DMC thread.
But look at the back! What a mess! I'll trim them all before I sandwich it. Now to decide on the center colours, I am thinking orange or yellow.

Aunt Millie's looks wonderful with a blanket stitch! I love the colors you chose for the fabrics and the thread. Beautiful!!
You're right the close ups look much better. I love the colours you chose too.

Pretty! pretty!
Somehow i thought you did the blanketsticth on your machine!! You are handsewing these?! Wow wow wow!! It is so beautiful!
Great work Helen and hand sticthed as well. I like what you did witht he yellow centre to make it raised, clever cookie.
With the threads on the back do you just snip them of or what? I read on another post that you spent 3 versions of GLEE tying of the threads and did not know what you meant.
You inspire me.
