"La Creperie"
Over on FB a couple of days ago....
...I posted a few piccies of some houses in Alsace....
...and explained that I was working on a new project for my Cardiff Quilters workshop.
I had a real job to decide what kind of building to do....
...house? ....shop?.... restaurant?.....
Difficult....but food won out....
...and "La Creperie" was born!
I did the design on paper....
...transferred it to the background fabric....
...then did the applique and machine stitching....
This time I stitched the writing too. (Previously I'd used iron-on transfer paper)
A bit time consuming....but worth the effort methinks!
Now all I have to do is ga-zillions of French Knots underneath all the windows like this.....
...then put it all together and stuff!
One....two....three.....four................
Have a great weekend and half term holiday. :-)

..too many French knots?....
NEVER!!
I find it almost impossible to do just a few...
...and the front of this little house called for LOADS of them :-)
All of the hand stitching is now finished...
...and it will now be given its roof...
...and then stuffed.
