Stitching Sundays 12

 As you know, I finished the snowflake embroidery on my bunting...on the turquoise piece...
 ...and the shiny silvery-grey piece.  I managed to get the bunting made even though I had to sew the bias binding on twice, because I hadn't sewn it close enough to the edge (you would think that I would have got the hang of that by now, having made at least five bunting projects over the last year).  I am not sure that the snowflake embroidery will be that obvious once the bunting is hung up, but I'll know it's there.
 So, here's the finished product.
 Even though it isn't quite winter yet, I hung it on the mirror, just to take a photo.
I am pleased with the combination of colours and patterns and I shall be putting it up properly on December 1st.  Now, what is my next project?

      Thanks, BH. I am really happy with the way the bunting has turned out. the colour combinations are just what I wanted for that frosty, icy, bleakness of a beautiful wintry landscape.
      Have a good week too.
      Best wishes

    A bunting Jack Frost would love to call his own! I love the colours and fabrics, a real beauty! Chrissie x

      Thanks, Chrissie. I was hoping the colours and patterns would work together - they did in my head, but I wasn't sure until I laid them out together. I am really happy with the finished bunting.
      Best wishes

      Thanks, Joy. I am very pleased with the end result. My next project - it may be another felt piece which has also been hanging around for years!
      Best wishes

    Well done Ellie, it is really sparkly and pretty, just what we need at Christmas. I keep making mistakes like that even though I have done it a zillion times. Enjoy your week xoxo

      Thanks, Hannapat. It is easy to make mistakes with sewing projects, isn't it, but they can usually be put right. I am really pleased with how the bunting has turned out.
      Have a good week too.
