GTS

Hi everybody,
The sky is blue, the sun is bright, but the wing is blowing, and it is very strong and cold!
I went to the market to buy the vegetables for the week, but the market was empty. Almost no seller. And the one who were there were not happy at all. They could not display all the vegetables, and they tried to prevent their display to fly away.
The good news is that the leaves are falling, when the wind stops, we can do the cleaning in one shot :-)
Despite this weather, I found this rose this morning. It is a big one, and the scent is so very nice. And the mum is ... bright.
I wish you a nice weekend!

Carrots

oops, not sure I did not delete one comment, but don't know how...
Anyway, thanks for those comments. Especially on those carrots, they were a bit hard to make :-)
The fabrics come from some worn clothes a friend gave to me. I try to cut patches in them, that suit the vegetables. I like the effect on the carrots and the artichoke.

Some more vegetables:

The mice are back...

I've reworked the quilting, I think it is much better now.

Have a nice evening all!

PS: I fully agree with Allison's comment :-)

Mice invasion

I'm glad you like the picture of the trees across the street. When I drive to work, there are more lovely pictures to take, but it is a bit dangerous to stop...

Thank you too for the comments on the bag pocket. It was fun to do. I have everything ready to finish the bag, I hope I will make it next weekend.
Your comments on the workshop piece are very encouraging too. New ideas are coming...
In the meantime, still from Marie-Claire Idées, there are a few mice I made this weekend, for three little girls who might like them. From the picture, I see I must rework the quilting a bit, but I was getting tired and going on would have been a bad idea. So for that's a task for next weekend too, I suppose.
In the meantime, I wish you all a great week!

Pocket for a bag

At the end of the week, I have received the Xmas issue of Marie-Claire Idées, a French needle craft magazine. A very good issue, by the way.

In it, their was a pattern for a hand embroidery. I have decided to give it a try, but with machine embroidery. Here is the result:

This is mainly FME, with a few standard stitches, on black commercial felt.

It will become the front pocket of a bag.

Workshop with Odile Texier - piece finished

Hi to all,

I'm enjoying a long weekend, with a beautiful weather.
It is difficult to choose between gardening and playing with the sewing machine!
Anyway, I had almost finished my piece during the workshop, I've just added a few seams and the binding. And here it is. I've started another project, quite different. Hope to be able to show you tomorrow.
Have a nice weekend all!
