Both of my design walls are completely empty at the moment, but it doesn't mean I'm not quilting. I've been making individual blocks for a variety of projects, sharing them as I go, then stashing them away with the rest of the set of blocks.
Besides my regular piecing projects, I have continued stitching on the redwork Santa embroidery that has become my current hand-stitching project. It has been many years since I did any embroidery, but I am enjoying this project very much. Check out the adorable teddy bear!
The Santa design is from the book Just Be Claus by Robin Kingsley. My version is reversed from the one in the book because I used a Sulky transfer pen to get the markings on the fabric. The fabric is 100% linen that I got at JoAnn's, and I'm stitching with #8 perle cotton.

So glad you are staying busy, Julie. That little Santa is just too stinking cute. Redwork is always so relaxing. Have a lovely week and happy quilting.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet Redwork! Linen just has such a beautiful feel and I like the charm of the thickness of threads. Enjoy your stitching time.
