Watercolor Fabric Placemat Set




I've been making more placemats and used some of my Spoonflower fabric for the centers again. I matched them with complimentary commercial fabrics. Above is my Cosmos Key fabric where I drew some other treasures along with my white cosmos flowers.






This fabric was from one of my journal pages and I called it Pink Petunia and Domino . It has a domino, an old broken purple bottle and ladybugs among the flowers. I loved the way it turned out. Really bright and pretty.






This was an early garden sketch when the cosmos was at it's brightest and the parsley had nice large green leaves, I call it Cosmos Nature Journal Page. Now everything has faded a bit in the August heat so I like having this on my table.






And my zinnia flowers from last year with a little yellow moth. I love the yellow moths that flutter around the garden. I called this one Red Zinnias Hope you have a great week!

Illustration Friday - Juggle

Image
I wanted to draw something to correlate with the season and I thought about a lady trying to juggle all of her equipment back so she doesn't have to make another trip, ever feel that way? I felt like using red too, such a strong color and not in my usual palette, so apples came to mind. Have a good weekend. Nice and cool here in Nevada.

Touching the Autumn Sky Complete!

Image
I am very excited that I finished my "Touching the Autumn Sky" Mirabilia cross stitch pattern over the weekend. Whew, took a long time. I can't even remember when I started it. I'm looking for just the right frame now. I have completed two of Mirabilia's patterns in my cross stitching career, the other one is "Under the Friendship Tree". I really like her patterns of children. I have started the letter "C" of her letters series, however I am using Weeks Dye Works flosses instead of Crescent Colors. Looking forward to see how that turns out.

Rise and Shine Hand Embroidery Pillow

Image
This week I finished my "Rise and Shine" embroidery pattern that has a very bright theme, some orange butterflies and a few wildflowers.  I'm making a set with "Sweet Dreams" to go with it.    After finishing the pillow i wanted to do the crochet border around the edge.  I found a great pattern for it on the You Go Girl blog.  I've seen it on so many pillowcases lately and it turns out really cute!  First I did a blanket stitch around the edge.   I hemmed the edge of the pillow fabric first and used a large needle with "Comfy" fingering yarn from Knit Picks  in Sea Foam.  It is a little heavier than crochet cotton and I liked the softness of it.    Single crochet in the blanket stitch around.  I made a change here from her directions.  I only put two single crochet stitches in each blanket stitch because it was starting to ruffle a bit and I didn't want that. Five double crochets in a sin...
