Corona Creative #8 .....Daisy Hexies done!

...and here they are...

...I have two sets of these ready to make into...

...something as yet un-decided.

I may make a bag or a book cover....

...and will post when it gets done :-)

These are the last of the daisies for now though...

...I have expo things to be getting along with...

...and will post a few oblique photos along that road.

Keep safe and sane...

Corona Creative #6 ....different daisies...

These daisies are smaller...

...and done with a stencil and Markal paintstiks...

...using an Oakshott bundle - Orchid Fat 8ths.

A lot of us have bought these delightful little bundles at shows and online...

...but maybe don't know what to do with them?

(Oakshott also have a free down load for a facemask at the minute!!)

I cut some pieces ...one of each colour.....about 5 inches wide.

I cut a daisy stencil 40mm across and used some Markal Paintstiks to put the daisies onto the fabrics after I'd marked the centre and outline of a 100mm hexagon.

The next step was to outline the daisy with a small straight stitch on the sewing machine.

I used gold metallic thread...

Afterwards I stitched the hexagon outline for reference. (This will be removed later on)

Now comes the fun bit.....the hand stitching (following the stitch diagram from before)

I am now going to spend the next few days working on the rest of the hexies...

...and will be back after the weekend.
