Sunday with Mireille and a lot of fun …

Mireille came on last Sunday and we had a great day!
Chatting, laughing and of course embroidering….

We still work on our Passiflora Edulis, my student is more advanced in her work than me ;o) just have a look on her blog!

This time we had begun stumpworking using wire to make a leaf for our passiflora.
You’ll find some pictures of the process.

First give a shape to your wire; using the pattern is a good think. Just be sure you give the shape a good size; here we’ll have to do it a litle bit biger to have enough material to give it a good shape when finished.

After that, the first “row” on the wire is made by buttonhole stitch all around the leaf.

The filling with buttonhole is taking a lot of time, but what a good result ;o)

Mireille came with a beautiful quilt made by here mother; just look at this!!!


The quilting is gorgeous… and the back is as nice as the front!
