Today's Drawn Thread finish is called Lily of the Valley. It is from the unfinished drawer so that means it is stitched but I haven't done anything else with it.
It would look better ironed. I like it and it is a sweet design. I suppose it would look good framed.
But I ran out of wall space a while back.
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done!!! I finished off Along the James River.
Boy does putting the edge on change the look of it. Wow, when I look at it, I think of all the work that went into it. But I am very proud of it and proud that I finished it. I changed the corners. Two of the corners look great and two are a bit wonky.
But I like the mitered corners better than the flipped ones. This is my first time working with using quilt template plastic for a stiffener inside something. It worked fine although I added some skirtex like stuff as a padding to the front side of the plastic. Also I didn't like the wrap around close so I used the left over edging to make ties for a bow. I am very happy it is finished!
I may take it to show off at Spring Fling.
