Swap

I know I should proceed already with my quilt but I had so many in-between projects and I am still busy with one swap... The bad thing with swaps is that I can't show it until it is send and received. The good thing is that once I show it - it is actually finished!‬
The last swap was in the subject of kitchen/cooking/backing etc and must be made of textile/fiber. Now, the first part is farther for me than china.. But after you cook you need to sit down and eat right? So I took it that safe clean way instead...


And then I learned to make collages in picnik


It is a romantic table cloth with 5 crazy patchwork blocks. I stitched the seams the sewing machine decorative stitches and combinations of them. I especially like the tulips that you can see in the right bottom photo of the collage. I can convert a stitch to its mirror image so I made a little program of one tulip to the right and one tulip to the left.
I finished folding the backing fabric to the front to create the binding. that way I could sew the binding with the machine. I wanted all of the cloth to be sewn in the machine and not by hand because it is after all something you eat on and should be washed frequently..
I think I did it
