..it's coming along...

I've done a bit more of the Australian-inspired punchneedle piece...

....and I'm very happy with the way it's turning out :-)





You may remember the "strata" piece from a little while ago...

...well...

...this one's following along in a similar vein (pardon the pun!).

I had to find a larger hoop to do this one, but realised that I need even bigger ones...

...if I want to do anything of any size.

So I ordered a couple of oval quilting frames, and they arrived today.

One's 8" x 15", the other 12" x 22. They'll give me enough working area without having to wast too much fabric in a round hoop.

I'll probably spend some time binding cotton tape around the inner hoops this evening...

...then work out how much thread I'll have to dye...:-o
