There is a total of 72 of the little leaves to make and stitch. I cut out 24 for the snowflake that I am working on, shape about 8 at a time and then stitch. Repeat. Best Press and the mylar template are being used to make the leaf shapes. Maybe I will get good at making these (hysterical laughing is heard here).
Stitching of one shape for all three snowflakes is being done before I move on to the next shape.Berkshire Tatter

Appliqué
Then they would be stitched onto the runner. It did not go well. They are so tiny, skinny. They have been placed by needle turn appliqué.

Feet
Below are the first feet that I made with the cotton, needle turned appliqué. They did not make me happy at all. You can see the piece of fabric with the fusible interfacing on it. The left feet will be removed, and the new ones stitched in place. Then the body can be stitched on, then more leaves and branches.

Snowflake Runner
Sunday, February 18, 2024
Hello
Another applique was started, and this one is not being done as needle turn. This is the center of a snowflake design. There are three snowflakes on this table runner from Piecing the Past Quilts. Each individual shape is made and then stitched onto the fabric. Enjoying stitching both, not sure which technique I prefer.
A new cross stitch from Moira Blackburn was also begun, Season and Time. This 52x33cm, about 21x13 inches. I don't have bars long enough to hold it as a horizontal shape, so I am working it sideways. Interesting way to read the pattern. May that have made sense.
I am at a bit lost with no football to stitch with. Will have to work on a new, soon to be spring, routine. Today is grey, windy and 26 degrees out.
May you all enjoy your threads. Linking to Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts.

Squirrel, Mats
Friday, we had a visit to Boston, so no stitching of any type was done. Yesterday I finished the binding and then buttonhole stitched around the inside border. Some in the ditch stitching needs to be done. These are tea and cookie mats as they are 9.5 X 15.5 inches. The placemats I use are 12 X 17 inches. I do like a larger place mat.
Two football games today. I need to figure out what I will be doing for slow stitching. Enjoy your threads today.
