Stitching Lady: cloth

20 Apr 2017

Imagine the blossoms slightly pink and you can understand my delight.

In another garden - in Switzerland - a greenhouse is being constructed

Bravo son!

Embroidery school is over but I am still "sitting in the class room"

making borders - I used a stitch from queeniepatch - the Q-stitch

And below in white with red beads - a stitch from Paperjennifer - she has an Instagram tutorial

It is a buttonhole and at the same time scallopping stitch.

----------
I dyed with dandelions. I followed Jude Hill from her blog spiritcloth.

If you want to know more about it here is the link:

A very nice soft yellow

I went into the frontgarden and picked a potful of dandelion flowers.

And then I did what I read on spiritcloth - I cooked the flowers with water

and put my fabric scrap and a little white thread into it. Jude put some allum

too. I have no experience with this and might try it some day - to see

if there is a difference.

Two days in a jar and out came this little yellow delight -

I made another feather - and

I am still trying needle lace on this cloth -

This guy is enjoying a rose-scented place.

After a rather long period of creating nothing

I finally made these beads of fabric - for a future necklace.

all made of one and the same fabric

I am not very fond of the cylindrical beads - I like

more the ones which are diminishing on both ends

and will probably use only those.

And here a surprise photo:

Our town Karlsruhe is celebrating its 300-year birthday

and preparing great events which will run till October this year.

So it is no wonder that this truck is driving backwards up the house -

in one of the streets which are not affected ---

because at the same time Karlsruhe center is one large

construction site - we get an underground tram-way.

Going to town by car is practically not possible.
