Late yesterday evening my July-Lion was finished.
Today I ironed the backing on and cut it to the right size.
I still haven't figured out how to do the edges on the journal quilts
( probably machine stitched ???)
Till then I have to put them somewhere safe
O, he is a very fierce LION
standing tall for the month July: birth month of our granddaughter.
( Or is he putting up some show ?
I'm not quite sure about that,
not that it matters ... I like him ! )
The rest of today was for knitting : our daughter is making
her very first ( and probably last ) pair of socks and it goes very well.
She's very proud ... and so am I.
My "baktus" shawl is nearing its end too, it's going faster now
while I'm decreasing
( I will show the finished shawl later )
Els, your lion cloth is wonderful!!!!!! I think this is one of my favorite lion cloths. I can't wait to see all your monthly pages when you are done!

Perhaps he is the Cowardly Lion from the Wuzard of Oz.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSuch vibrant colors and satisfying texture changes. I'm curious how big is the piece?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenwat een mooi gezicht heeft jouw leeuw. Hij heeft ook iets heel aandoenlijks.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIk geniet nog steeds van jouw mandala. Op het moment heb ik geen tijd om te bloggen, want ik ben de 80e verjaardag van mijn moeder aan het voorbereiden.
Els your lion is so wonderful and a late congratulations with your blog, it look great.

Suzanna, my journal quilts are all 30 x 21 cm ( A4) So not too big. I will show the lot when finished ;-)
