Patra's Place will be mostly about my linen collection, but also about my SINS (Stuff I'll Never Stitch), UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and projects that I am currently working on. Since I created this first blog, I have diversified somewhat! You can see the list of my other blogs, and my favourite websites and blogs by other people, on the sidebar.

Update on my textile postcard.
There were some lovely comments on my last few posts - thank you everyone who left a comment, I do enjoy reading them, and will visit you all in return shortly, if I haven't already done so. Isn't the Internet great for finding people with a common interest - especially blogging - just love it!
Here is a picture of my fabric CQ postcard...actually, I shouldn't call it CQ, as that stands for Crazy Quilting, and none of my patchwork is 'quilted' - it is just patchwork. Anyway, here is my postcard up until today:
Ugh - okay, it isn't quite finished, but the scanner doesn't do it justice. The colours are much more vibrant than this pic. shows. As you can see if you compare this to the photo I posted a week or so ago, I've made a few improvements/changes. I changed the herringbone stitch from green to red, and I've moved the gold ric rac closer to the seam. I have a few more beads to add to the feather stitching at the bottom, and I'm not happy with the leaves on the right hand side, so I may fill them in with button hole or satin stitch yet.

You are really making good progress in this semi-CQ world. Very nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments on my blog. I added you to my favorites. And I'll be happy to be your partner in an exchange anytime!
And I love the ladybird. This is coming along very nicely
ReplyDeleteIt's really looking great, Gina ... somewhat different to when I saw it last. They look like such fun ... might have to try something like that when I get back from holidays.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend. See you in a few weeks.
Take care, Meowxx
