This little miss is interested in needle arts.
She was so pleased with her plastic canvas creation.
Bonus-she learned how to hold the needle so her thread didn't slip out of the eye.
Her embroidery has greatly improved.
She stitched all of the penguin except the beak and feet.
An original Ava design in felt.
She drew the swan and background, used the special felt scissors to cut the greenery,
and then let gran do the stitching.
Today I finished my February challenge blocks.
I chose cherries and a heart for my piano top runner.
Cherries are from Lori Holt and the heart is my own pattern.
Labeled is done.
Note: the piece does not have binding.
I carefully trimmed the top and turned the backing into faux binding on the front.
Above are eight napkins to coordinate with our new tablecloth.
They were my very first finish of 2025.
So many projects on the to-do list.
Happy Sewing!
