Happy to be stitching again. This time I joined a stitch along with an online shop in Australia. For one bundle price you were offered over a week multiple stitching projects. It didn't hurt that my favorite stitching designer Janelle Wind was involved. This is just one of the projects I am going to do out of the stitch along series.
It was exciting to fill my casseroles with new project pieces. Equally exciting to empty them I might add. The pattern is Orange Blossom by Janelle Wind. It is a sweet little table runner with lots of potential for many spots in my studio. Of course it will be reversible too.
I haven't quite gotten the hang of the tuck method of embroidery so I went back to the method I like of heat and bond. I have a thing about clean edges.
Multiple mistakes in the past have helped me realize it is easier to number my pieces in a grid for placement. Another fall back is to take a picture. The numbers are faster though,
This fabric by Moda, Dream On is growing on me. At first it appeared very 70's. In fact one of the pieces looks like a sheet set I recall having. However it really is bright and sunny.
Layout complete....let the stitching begin!
Thank you all for your sweet comments and support.
I love them.
It is so nice to know that something you love is appreciated.

I smiled because I take pics too of anything I'm sewing that's in pieces. Seems things get blown around a little easily in my house. :-)
Such cheerful colors. Yellow is always a favorite of mine. I'll be sure to share this post with my Mom. Happy Tuesday!
I love the fabric. I use yards and yards of heat and bond, makes everything easier.
I love the colors you are using. Can not wait to see it finished.

It's so charmingly adorable, Renee! Very 70's inspired, isn't it?! I love how sunshiny and happy it is--it will be difficult to feel down when that's on display in your home! Looking forward to seeing the finished product!
