Handwork has been getting stitched. Block 10: Ostrich Pair from A Bountiful Life has grown. Once again, several different ways of applique have been used. The leaves were done with "back-basting needle turn applique".
The flowers were done by "needle turn applique with paper on top".
The center pink and green circles were done using my applipops and starch. That makes the circles firm, and they stay nice and round.
Tomorrow, Sunday, I will work on the ostriches. They are larger pieces and right now I am thinking of the back-basting needle turn method. The final decision on what material to use will be made tomorrow. (Two color ways have been set out.) Another block will then be done.
Enjoy your threads.
