Sorry for another partial picture, but I did finish and send off my pillow project by the end of last week. I thought that my “bouncing bananas” (the half-moon thingies) background stitches IMPROVED since I last did them for a quilt:
There is nothing more heartening than improved stitches to a quilter. Improved stitches = more comely work! So, I am quite satisfied with the result!
This week, I am working on a cutwork project using machine embroidery. Never done that in my whole sewing life. We’ll see how it goes, and I will be sure to report back!
Have a great week, y’all!

The quilting is incredible. Absolutely awesome. Love the bananas.
I can’t wait to see more about the cutwork project. Love cutwork lace!
Holy hanna that is gorgeous!!
Your stitches look beautiful. The bananas make a very visually pleasing pattern. This is such a gorgeous piece of work – I wish I had the patience and application to do something like this.

I’m sorry if my link has been confusing lately. I didn’t realise the comments form was remembering my old blog ‘Homemaker’s Haven’. This link is the correct one!

Awesome bananas! They are so evenly spaced! And you do this freehand don’t you! You are extraordinarily talented with your sewing machine!
Congratulations on your completed project! Love the bananas!!
You have a beautiful and inspiring blog!♥
Hi Wendy,
I have a little something for you at my blog here

Hello, this is my very first visit and I came over from Ellen’s blog…I’ve just been looking at all your fabulous stitching in the recent posts….wow! I’m really impressed.
Wow your stitching is gorgeous. Very comely.
I cracked up laughing when I read the name you gave to the stitches. Very apt name, they sure look like bananas. I don’t know what you’d call the ones next to the bananas on the right.
Congrats on your improvement!! Those bananas look wonderful! :)
