I haven't been doing much (besides playing solitaire on the computer) lately, but I have made some progress on my little hearts wall hanging. Remember this?
This is what the back looks like at the moment:
And part of the front:
A real close up shot:
This is mindless stitching that sometimes fits the bill in terms of my energy level. I'm using two strands of a silk floss and one of rayon in my needle to get a varigated effect and a bit of sparkle. Before I started stitching I seriously considered using seed beads to quilt the background areas. Now I think beading the background would have involved less stitching and been quicker to do!
What an adorable quilt! The stitching looks really fun, and it's always good to have a mindless project on hand.
ReplyDeleteI agree, an easy stitch project always helps relax me.
ReplyDeleteI agree, a mindless project is always good to have in progress. These days I'm knitting garter stitch shawls. I finished one and cast on the next one immediately.
ReplyDeleteI hope you continue to feel better.
At first I thought you'd sewn on bugle beads! Beads would have been a different but not a better choice than what you are doing. The more subtle shine of thread versus beads keeps the hearts the main focus.
ReplyDeleteI love your heart quilt. And your stitching adds great shine and texture to it. Hand work is good to have for days when you need that quietness....it's comtemplative work.
ReplyDeleteI remember this. I adore the stitching.
