Here are soe pics of the first fabric I finished in Karen Ruane's class. All I have left to do on this one is to sew on the two buttons on the bottom right side once the fabric is backed. I am leaving them off to make the sewing easier. Right now they are just sitting there.
I am working on #2 and #3 simultaneously. I go back and forth. I also showed above a small sample cloth I tried out a few things before doing them on my cloth. I have more cutwork and applique to try plus chinese buttons still to do.
After starting on 2 and 3 I found that I had cut #1 cloth about 1" shorter in width and had already embroidered on the other two so could not cut them down easily. I added extra fabric on the bottom and added the lace trim plus french knots, etc.
I hope it doesn't look too much like an add on.

Oh wow - wonderful work!!! You have been a busy girl but your efforts are certainly worth it.
What a gorgeous piece. I love all the different items used in it. Someday, I plan to use all my random fabricy bits to do something like this. I can't wait to see what you do with it.
I favor a word that Laurie from Indulge Your Shelf uses... "SWOONING" -- I am swooning over your fabric work, it is so beautiful!
I'm excited to see your upcoming fabric pieces!
Stunning work!
This is lovely Freda and I'm so envious of that fabulous hankerchief. Hugs Gerry..
This is beautiful Freda. I love the addition of the blues and creams. The bottom does not look like an add-on.
How fun and beautiful work. It does look great keep it going!
