Welcome to Melva Loves Scraps and this week's edition of Sew & Tell! I've been sending out multiple invitations to other bloggers to join my party. If you happen to be new to MLS and the Sew & Tell party... WELCOME! I think you will find plenty to ooh and ahh over.
When I finished Table Topper #4 in green, I set up a photo shoot in the kitchen... who wants to join me for a cup of tea?
You can see more details of the topper, including the FMQ feathers at the highlighted link above. After stitching the first side of the feather (that side is easy-peasy and straight on), I adjusted the needle position to the right and started the second side. No more skipped stitches! I did discover, also, that I have to change the orientation of the piece to almost 45 degrees for the best results.
I then turned my attention to mini-quilt challenge #38/52 ~ Micro Greens. 💚
It measures just 5" x 7" and features some simple embroidery and stitching. It seems "elegant and fancy" in its simplicity and small size. I think it will rank near the top of my favorites at the end of the challenge.
This week's randomly selected feature is Leeann at Not Afraid of Color. Jump over to her blog to learn more about what she learned in making this wall hanging.
It is now time for this week's party.
Keep Piecing,
Melva

ReplyDeleteDefinitely would join you for tea -- I love tea but I mostly drink ice tea all year round. And those tins are amazing. I am wondering how old the Lipton one is. Nice finish. I agree with you that green mini is wonderful. Hope you get lots of sewing done this week.
ReplyDeleteI just love your Micro Greens! (Cute name, too!)
