The homeschooler I am teaching sewing has completed another success! She sewed the blocks together, quilted the top and yesterday, she learned how to make a lapped zipper on the back! I love to see the confidence she is gaining over the weeks we have been working together!
After our morning of sewing, I finished the work on this bowl at the lathe. There is a fault in the center of the bowl-no matter what I do, the center is pithy but I think I have it stabilized with the Shellac. If I worked the area any more, I would've put a hole there so the bit of irregularity is a better solution! This one is made from Poplar, 6" across and 4' high.

ReplyDeleteHard to believe that my ugly poplar can turn into something so pretty! Lovely pillow. It looks very comfy.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful finish! And a gorgeous bowl.
ReplyDeleteYour student did a great job on that pillow. It is so cute and springy. I can't even put a zipper in decently so she's waaaay ahead of me.
ReplyDeleteLove the bowl as always. Irregularity makes it individual and only adds to it's value. There is none other like it. :-)
Blessings,
Betsy
Love it!
