A chaotic week but a couple of small finishes....

It has been another chaotic week here with people coming and going, so there has not been a lot of time for either sewing or writing blog posts. However, I did just want to pop in and share with you what I have made from the two background blocks that I worked on during Kathy Shaw's wonderful ICQC 107 Class.


 After trimming up the blocks, I made them into two small wall hangings. 


I added a few extra little embroidered stitches to the backgrounds and the borders to finish the scenes and I am really pleased with how they look.

Now I can hang them where I can enjoy them.

It is set to continue to be busy here that for the next few weeks but hopefully I will still have time to squeeze in a little sewing here and there.... and the odd blog post!

    I just love the one with the tree. I think it would be cute to hang it by a stick from your yard. : ) Good for you for finishing these! Janita

    It's lovely to have the family coming and going but we still long for some quiet creative time too. Hope you are able to balance both and can work on some more pretty projects such as these.

    They are just beautiful Christine! Love the way you added stitches as a kind of "matting", and is that some of your coveted Tilda fabric surrounding them?
