Firstly I decided to start my night at about 11am lol and spent yesterday afternoon tracing, pressing, ironing, cutting out and more ironing for my version of snow central from Homespun magazine. As you can see I have changed it heaps from the picture and it is from No. 50 Vol. 8 No. 7. I will not be putting those prairie points around mine but will finish it off with large ric rak instead.
This is what I began with....
and how it ended up. I do have a couple of scarves left to iron on but have to find suitable fabric first.
This is the original designed by Stephanie Cameron.
I did a couple of hours work on Magnolia after tea while watching dribble on tv until New Tricks started. It doesn't look like much, and trying to take a photo was a bit difficult, but those bottom petals have about 6 different shades in each which are blended. I also finished outlining the big petals too.
I hope everyone else had a wonderful time stitching. Now to go and see what you all got up to ...........
