Herewith some images of the stole progress:
 |
| Kristen sent along this sketch for the stole design. |
 |
| My interpretation |
 |
| The stole design takes shape: I drew the outlines of roots, branches and leaves on the unbleached cotton foundation fabric. |
 |
| Stuffing the "roots"--a large eyed darning needle has been threaded with cotton yarn. |
 |
| The "roots" from the topside. |
 |
| The two halves of the stole are on my design wall. The stitching and stuffing has been completed. |
 |
| Detail view. |
I'm now making the many leaves which will be appliqued on top.
 |
| I used fusible interfacing to stabilize the fabric, and then stitched leaf shapes through the layers. |
 |
| Each shape was stitched twice, then cut out. Cutting a slit in one side allows the shape to be turned right side out. |
 |
| Some finished leaves. |
I have many more leaves to stitch and turn! A good project while listening to the radio...
