Stitch Sew & Show ~ Week 5

 

Welcome to Stitch sew & Show ~ 2022 ~ Week 5

It is February already! 

I do not have much to show this week.

I have been crocheting my 

Sampler Squares Afghan

I have also been following some of the lovely free embroidery stitch alongs for 

National Embroidery Month @ DMC

My favorite find is this: 

This pattern is by

Meg Hawkey @ Crabapple Hill Studio

There are very helpful

 Crabapple Hill ~ Instruction Videos Here

These blocks use a color tinting technique that I have never done.

To learn how to do this watch Meg's

Crayon Tinting Coloring Technique Video Here

This is the block for Day 1.

Here is today's block.

I think these birdhouses are adorable.

I have watches the coloring technique video and I have plenty of crayons and the other items needed to try coloring these blocks.

 However, I  am still feeling very unsure about my artistic ability to do this.

I am thinking of maybe trying a combination of fabric applique and embroidery.

Here are my fabric thoughts on this pan.

I have a layer cake of this lovely 

Hush-Hush by Riley Blake Designs

to which I could add fabrics from my stash

and my DMC embroidery threads.

I am still in the "thinking about this" part of the endeavor.

I am posting all the links, because I know there are many very talented

people who sometimes read and join in this weekly linky party 

who may be interested and want to stitch along.

Please show and tell here if you do!

Please show us what you have been working on this week.

Thank you to all who join the party! 

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
