KAWANDI PROGRESS, et al

 


Here are some 
"in progress" photos as I
continue working on my
Kawandi-style table runner:

Above is the first sewing round;

and below
The next round with added pinned-
in place fabrics; the cool colors end here
and 
The "warm" colors end here.

[you can see the new rows of
stitches in varying colors of threads...]
.
I am trying to make it a "rainbow-like"
piece with blues and purples 
moving across the middle area.

My dining room table--as a result--
 is a total mess
of fabrics as I search for 
fabrics that move into adjacent
colors well...

Not that easy just using what I have
on hand--which are mostly prints...
And here you can see that I have added more fabrics 
around...just that middle area now to be covered.
But I need to do more stitching around and around
and around .... sigh....

These last few rounds where the blues/purples and
reddish colors meet are the most difficult
to figure out...so that they "flow" 
together a bit...

I am tempted to just fill in the center with a
multicolored print and call it done!!

**********************
Our temps and dewpoints have dropped
considerably today so we are able to 
sit out on our deck for morning coffees.
...
My daughter is on her way down here
for lunch with us armed with 
grinders for us all;)))

So looking forward to catching up with
her and my grands' doings...
