Huck weaving

When I bought the fabric for this project, the idea was to make a tablecloth. But the fabric was so pretty I felt bad cutting it. So, I embroidered the whole piece which is big enough to be a bedspread.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to capture the real colour of the fabric. The first picture is the closest.

Design is from Zweigart 3331 leaflet.

Stitched on Zweigart Stockholm fabric with DMC Perle 3 cottons.

27 March 2018 - 29 December 2018, sewn in January 2019.

Potholder loom towel

This turned our not quite like I envisioned.

The idea was to make a towel using potholder loom. I made six squares leaving the edges open hoping that this would give me nice seams and border. Wrong! it was almost impossible to make the seams look tidy. Finally I just machine sewed them together and than added a crochet border.
