CLUE NUMBER 2 - DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE BLIND CHALLENGE WITH BEA
Below is the next stage of my Rabbit Hole challenge from Bea. We were asked to add a backing (felt or batting) to the back of our piece/s and quilt it on using various stitches.
I have done 2 pieces for some reason! This is the main side of the first. I added thin batting to the back and used some stitches I haven't used before on my sewing machine. It's rather subtle, but I'm quite pleased with it. On the back (below) you can see the machined stitches:
Here is my second piece. I must admit I've been rather tentative with it, because I love the piece as it was! Still, I hand stitched running stitches in different colours around it. I know, I'm a bit conservative in my approach sometimes:
Again, below is the back so show just the stitching. It was hard to stitch as the texture of the piece is now like leather!
So that's it so far. Today Bea has given us Part 3 and we have to chop it all up and all sorts. AAAAH!! I will try and post my efforts on Friday, which is the due date for 'getting it done'.

Thanks Bea, as I explained via email, the header is of Lough Graney on a particularly still day. It's 2 minutes from us.
Glad you like my pieces.
Bea my friend. Trust you? Hmm, I'll have to think about that one!
