I can’t believe it’s been so long since I last posted. I have no real excuse – it’s just that I’ve been working what seems like 24/7 on a new design – or rather a series of designs, because this is going to be a wall-hanging consisting of nine separate parts. I’m doing it at the suggestion of the owner of a local craft shop, and as she needs it as soon as possible, there just hasn’t been time to do anything else. Even now, it isn’t anywhere near finished so it will be a while before I can post it here, but until I can finish it, here’s a little goose that I did some time ago.
A temporary goose
I had intended it as a motif to go on a tote bag but I’m not sure it would be quite right for that. However, I quite like it and I’m sure I’ll be able to use it for something eventually
And I know I’m way behind with a freebie for February but I’m working on it! I’ll hope to get it out in a few days
By the way, I’m SO grateful to all those readers who wrote suggesting ways to deal with the problems of stitching on a large, unsupported area of fabric, of the sort that I was complaining about in my last post. I haven’t tried anything like that again, but now I have some very good ideas of what to do to avoid those awful pull problems
He’s a gorgeous goose! I think he would be fab on a cushion or framed or part of an aviary of feathered fellows.
I was wondering if you might be able to share some of the tips you received/ any ideas you have on trying to avoid the dreaded ‘pulling’ when using larger frames. I’m loosing the plot with them. I’ve seen someone using a bandage between the hoops but I’m not sure I dare!
Hi Mia, I will look forward to viewing the designs that you are digitizing for a customer. Your duck is awesome and I think it would be wonderful on a framed piece of artwork, a home dec pillow or the back of a jacket.
Love the texture on this one! What size/type needle do you use on such dense stitching? Adorable goose.
Love your Goose. I don’t know what size he is, but he would be lovely on something for a kitchen, whether its a wall hanging, a potholder, a towel or even curtains.
There are so many things to put that lovely goose on.
Hello, the stitches really give a handmade impression. It’s very successful.
Love this guy. He is a piece of art with all his texture and swirls.
