Hello, and welcome to my blog! It's been raining in the American Midwest but today we will be slowly drying out.
I have a finish to report. I started this project in August of 2022 and blogged about it in this post.
Well its time has come. It was sent out to a local long armer and came back recently.
This pattern is called Flower Garden from the book Scrap Therapy: Scraps Plus One, by Joan Ford, which I found in my local library. The colorful scraps here are all feedsack fabrics, or vintage fabrics from the 1930's and 40's. If they have been stored properly, older fabrics are still sturdy and can be used in today's projects. I have picked up these fabrics at antique fairs or ebay.
A closer look:
I machine stitched the binding to the back, folded it over, and top stitched the binding down, which needs a steady hand and your full attention, as noted previously.
A close up of some pretty feedsacks. It finished at 58 by 72.5 inches, and is now on my bed.
