Today I took the first stitches in turning my first
Crochet Collage ~ Pillow Cover Plan
into reality.
It is a gray and rainy day here today so my photos are shadowed.
and actually have the pices laid out on the back which has raised grips
that hold them in place while I am working.
so that I have a wide border and plenty of fabric to make a pillow cover.
I am thinking I will add some large stitch quilting lines of sashiko threads
around the outside of the center collage to frame it.
I like to press fusible fleece to the back of appliqued pillow tops
for a firm, smooth top surface.
I decided to start with the three large leaves on the bottom center.
pre-wound bobbins. I never use these as actual bobbins.
I like to use them for applique, English Paper Piecing
and sometimes binding threads.
The top looks good, though... ;)
which I showed yesterday.
My flower does not look quite like the one in the book.
I think I sometimes forget to translate the English Crochet terminology
into USA terminology and make the wrong size crochet,
but I like it and it is a keeper.
I will make another or add applique another leaf or two tonight.
I hope your work week has started
with a happy day of sewing and stitching!
