Hot Sep in Barcelona

I finished the sashiko kit. Instead of making a 4-tea coaster set, I put them together as a placemat for SnackTime at work.
The blingbling...I used an idea from Honestlywtf. The chain I bought from the nearby hardware store. It costed less than 1 euro. The DMC embroidery threads may cost a bit. Anyway...the result is nice.

Mira pa´dentro: A los treinta la mujer :D

A los treinta la mujer, es una flor preciosa, que fue tomando color y su brillo te ahoga
madre, amante, amiga, trabajadora, quiere un mundo mejor y lo quiere ahora

Fun with airplane

Airplane block quilt

First airplane quilt! :D I was following the idea from BadSkirt. It was fun! Now I have a tea coaster for gift giveaway.

Sashiko project: Navy Yabane sampler from Olympus

The stitch lines are pre-printed. You just have to follow it. However, believe me, it is not that easy, very difficult to stab the fabric with the round tip of the needle. I did not use the sashiko thread. The problem is I dont know where to get the sashiko thread in Barcelona. Moreover, it would be quite annoying to order them all the time online. Therefore, I am using crochet 100% thread, size 8. It works fine so far since the thread is really tight. You could not see separated strands. Of course, the color variety is not that big...hmmm...for the current project, I chose an combination of white (cream white) and bright yellow. I hope it will come out nice!!! :D

UFO

Today's new word for me: UFO (unfinished objects). Haaa....

Sashiko kit

Sashiko kit from Saké Puppets (Sashiko Embroidery Kit: DIY Coasters (Set of 4) - Genki). I am looking forward to trying it. :D

Lisette dress pattern

First course on patchwork

Definitely later I will try the airplane pattern from BadSkirt.

Working...

Working with craft felt

I saw a roll of colorful craft felt at the shop nearby. I had never worked with craft felt yet. Then...I had the idea to do a spelling garland for little Simon. It was harder than I imaged: cutting the letters, sewing around the edges...I got some critism afterwards: 1) It is an English alphabet, not a German one or Spanish one. 2) the sequence of the letters is from Z to A, not A to Z. Hmmm...damage is DONE...

More cross stitch

I bought some new books of cross stitich motifs. Now I have a pin cusion. It is so easy to lose the pins on the floor.... mine field for bare foot! P.S. I am the only one wearing house shoes...heeee...Now all my lovely pins will stay together. :D

Sashiko: kogin

I used normal DMC threads, 6 strands together. I am not satisfied. The floss thread is not as twisted as sashiko thread.
