Thanks for all the ideas of how to salvage my stitchery. I have tried a couple, but the running is still visible. My last attempt will be today using natural yogurt - i'll let you know how i go. Hubby thinks it's just extra artistic effect, but I know I won't enjoy looking at it. It's only a quick stitchery so I'll just re-do it and be more wary of red thread in future. This is how my TTS looks so far. I think it will definitely need a nice red border to lift the colours.
I need to get going with In Full Bloom. Month 5 arrived yesterday and I haven't finished last month. This one is called Watering Girl.
I am still slowly working on hand quilting my stars quilt. I have 54 squares left, so have set myself the challenge of doing at least 2 a day so I should be finished in a month or so. I have so many little bits and pieces on the go that I am really looking forward to a big finish.
Hubby has gone to the Mudgee Small Farm Field Days today to look at tractors. The equivalent of quite a lot of fat quarters if you ask me!
Have a great weekend.

Looking great Susan !! How frustrating is it when the red thread runs??? Has happened to me only once with a different thread so I'm better off if I stick to DMC's now I think! Your stitchery looks lovely too! Have a great weekend!!

ReplyDeleteFingers crossed you got the run dye out! TTS is looking soo good too!..I saw some reprod fabrics on FQS today 100 for $199....I think you could buy a few of those when he gets the tractor lol
