a menacing artifact

yet one to bring topstitching to a new level. no more watching guide lines; this foot placed on the seam and adjusted to the wished width produces consistently even topstitch. you can guess i am on a topstitch roll  ^_^. and the best of the best is that it was included in my old elna jubilee kit.i just had  to unearth it, so i can say it was technically free. so there you have it my new best friend.

and here's the lantern skirt, already finished and worn.in all its wrinkled linen glory. rather be wrinkled and cool than wrinkle free and dripping sweat,which means synthetics-sorry.

all the seams are topstitched, of course.

no time for losers 'cause we are the champions

lazy sunday stitching after the  champion's league hangover. even i who doesn't care for soccer.

hand  and machine stitching  on felt, digitally printed organza embellished with hand stitching.

eased into monday by stitching and baking cupcakes.

in the good reads dept: here's our past & our future history as textilians. enjoy!

unusual

usually my vid postings are self explanatory but this is an exception .

this is the dancing egg l'ou com balla in catalan.

part of the corpus christi traditional festivities along with the flower carpets , it is a hollowed eggshell that when placed over the fountain jet it bounces and dances because of the force of the water jet. the fountains are heavily decorated with flowers and fruit, especially cherries and oranges.

one word to describe it: mesmerizing

have a great weekend!
