I finished the first block.
I pinned it on the design wall to block it to size. (12")
I am not touching the square
instead I dampen it first with water from a spray bottle
and then use the steam from my iron to heat it up.
I leave it to dry overnight to get a very nicely shaped block \to join to its neighbor.
Which is already on the needles--
t is a double moss stitch which is ony a four row repeat.
The wooden bowl is all done--the black is epoxy that fills the worm holes. This is Maple, 5" across and 2 1/2" high.
The top is wavy because of said worm holes
but you know I like it that way!
I like the texture and flow of the bowl thanks to the worm holes! Pretty squares you are making.
ReplyDeleteThe square turned out great! That's a great way of blocking too. I really like how the bowl turned out. The wavy edges are perfection!

I use a hand-held steamer for jobs like that because I don’t put water in the iron I use for quilting.
ReplyDeleteNeat!
ReplyDeleteI confess I have never figured out how to use the steam in an iron correctly. I always either soak something or barely mist it.
ReplyDeleteThe bowl really has that rustic feel to it. It's all very chic right now.
