square moon

The piece that I'm working on

for the Sun / moon / stars Whispering

is slowly getting to it's end.

But sometimes the stitching isn't easy !

Because some of the indigo fabric is very densely woven.

On top of that (literally) is the nine patch of the square moon,

so then there are about six layers ...

sometimes a pair of tongs is the only way to get the needle through.

In a thrift shop I found this beautiful blue hanky

that I immidiately planned for the backing as soon as I saw it.

It is very thin so I must think of a way to use it :

probably with another layer behind it

(then I could even cut out the middle part ...)

But

still a lot of stitching to do

(ánd I need to find a place for my magic thread)
