I’m participating in a
series of swaps for Teesha Moore inspired patches with a rainbow colour. Orange is the second swap and we made 2 patches for our partners.
For my first patch I used
a batik scrap with a cat, because my swap partner Jenny likes cats. I just
quilted the outline of the cat and decorated the patch with some herringbone stitches. I
used a running stitch for the border.
Jenny also likes crochet,
so I crocheted a lizard and appliqued it to this striped fabric. I quilted the
patch with a few rows of cross stitches. For the border I used a lot of French
knots. I used this pattern to crochet the lizard.
And these are the patches
I received for the first 2 Rainbow swaps. The red patches are made by Carol
from Australia. The oranges patches are made by our swaphost Naomi from the USA.
very nice selection of orange creations
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks, Margaret.
VerwijderenThese are very intensely coloured blocks. They are charming, but I must admit, orange is not my colour.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks, Queenie. I don't use orange often, these were all orange quilt fabrics I had in my stash.
