Little Cowpokes update

Slow and steady just like a cowpoke, is how this hand applique has been going. 

I've used hand blanket stitch and a couple of decorative stitches to create fringing and dimension on the cacti.

Borders next.

I'd really like to get this one done and sent to Mum for quilting. Wish me luck!

 

New boys quilt

I have an extra kit from a quilt I designed and sold years ago. 

A dear friend has a new grandson, and I would like to make something to send. I hope this Lil Cowpokes is fast to make, because it needs to be sent out soon!

I used a microsuede for the chaps. Time to add some fringing/embroidery next.

The first block begins.
