Apart from nine French knots the piece I showed you here is now finished.
I was impatient to add the patchwork edge so one side of that is now attached although I don't have any other strips ready yet to finish the other three sides.
If you remember, I now have nine seven inch embroidered squares. Number ten will be put together later today and the patchworking will also continue.
The first of my nine, seven inch embroidered pieces now has it's patchwork edge!
Seventy two one inch squares of patchwork.
I'm more than happy with how it looks and cannot wait to stitch more squares so I can edge the other pieces.
If you are new to this project please just scroll through this blog as there have been numerous posts about this little cloth book, which is what these pieces will become.
Yesterday I mentioned how I wasn't sure how many of these seven inch squares I had finished embroidering.
Today I can tell you it's eight.
Another piece will be put together later today and meanwhile.....patchwork.
There's an awful lot of patchwork squares to be stitched for these edges.
I was tempted to count how many I would actually need to finish the eight seven inch pieces I have up to now but I thought better of it as it might be too daunting.
I'm making good progress with this work, with these 7 inch embroidered squares for a new cloth book of embroidery.
The paper piece featured in my last post and I also spoke about my plans to edge these pieces with patchwork borders.
You can hear more about that in the video at the end of this post.
The cloth pages have been ongoing for some time, I speak more about those in this postwhere you will also find a one minute video, a brief show and tell.
Going back to the patchwork borders......my templates have arrived and I have started to cut out my fabric pieces. Hopefully I will have some of those to show you next time.
If you are enjoying my videos then please take a look at my YouTube channel. I'd be really grateful if you would consider subscribing over there.
For various reasons I'm struggling at the moment to keep up with all things embroidery and specifically this space, my blog.
I can only apologise for my infrequent posts but please believe me when I say I'm trying very hard to get back on track.
The work today is progress with my seven inch square pages for my 'book of embroidery'.
I have been posting about this work for a while now and although you see pieces you have seen before you do also see new work on new squares, some in progress, some complete.
If you are new here you can read more about this project by scrolling down through recent posts.
