BFF RAL week three

 still working on the same project both in "camera" time and off.

So the progress here is not just from our slightly shortened session.

Due to the colour and directional changes I am enjoying the repeated or perhaps reflected motifs.

I think that the different colours show better in this weeks picture.

I don't have a before and after shot as an example but the impact the burgundy backstich has on the colours it is outlining is quite surprising.

Here is a wider view.     

                                                                                   

My BFF is also working on her RAL, she has a lot on work related at the moment but pop on over to her blog she will share an update shortly.

Quilts on the line

 just because they looked pretty hanging there with the low Autumn sun shining through. I took pictures.

The quilt with the dark pink backing is Sampler Quilt

 

The other is Chorley-postage-stamp-quilt.html

BFF RAL week two

Although at the moment its not that random as we are each sticking to the same project of choice, we just are not working jointly on a project.

 I have made reasonable progress and this is an adventure as the illustration for the finished look is just that, an illustration not a picture of a finished piece.

As such the colours are being somewhat unexpected.

It is a little hard to tell here but those checked sections are in different colours.

On the illustration they look exactly the same.

I have added a close up for reference.

Doing the backstitch as I go is working for me on this so I will keep doing it that way..

Pop on over to my BFF's blog to see how things are going on her time sensitive project.

Sunday Stitching 10 November 24

 this week the additional tome is due to watching the remembrance ceremony at the cenotaph   (other than the two mins silence of course)

I think it has gone from a bit scary to sad ?

I also did a little on the project I started on Wednesday BFF session. There is less to show than there was sewing done. Yes the frog had to help me out of a counting mistake. Ah well I enjoyed stitching it in the first place so I get double the fun having to do it again.  I have also learned that with this pattern doing the backstitch as I go is going to help with the counting.

BFF RAL

 whilst we still have the backstitching to go on SAL 16 and have a maybe plan for 17 (gosh yes 17) this week it is a RAL  (Random Along).

I felt like starting something new, so I did. Not what I might consider my normal style, but a change can be fun.

hmm well not looking like much at the moment but it was very relaxing.

I did do a little more on the  pattern I was working on last week off camera, as that is allowed for a RAL.

my BFF has not posted as I finish this so I can't link to post but if you click on the link at the side of my blog it will get you there. 

Sunday Stitchings November 3rd 2024

 I thought I would do the next shade of brown, that there would be something viewable at the end. Oh and the brown stood out, erm perhaps a bit much. Oh too much, I had sewn with the darkest shade and it was the wrong one.

So out it came, faster than it went in, I managed to get all of the incorrect colour out and a little start on the right shade within my normal Sunday sewing time.

When I got home, and after lunch I went to take the update picture and there was not that much to show. I decided to apply BFF Sal rules when frogging has been required. Going back to where I would have been at the point the mistake was spotted.

However, I got a bit carried away as as those stitches were in the ! I will just finish this length of thread" lie popped into my head. Followed by "there are only a few stitches left in this section" on loop.

The result quite a bit more progress than I would have made within normal Sunday  Stitchings time.

There was nothing made in our Primary lesson at Church today, but my candle is still in place.
