Kawandi -- The Finish

 This week my first ever Kawandi project was finished.  It measures 16.5" x 20".

I like the colors.  It will be on our kitchen table for the month of March.  I love how the stitches look so organic and crooked.  I'm happy that I basted the pieces on as I went so that I could put it in my bag to take with me.  I didn't have to worry about losing pins in the bag.  It was so relaxing to stitch on this project using leftover pieces of embroidery floss (2 strands).  I changed the direction of my stitches as I saw fit.  The floss glided nicely through the good cotton and the Warm & Natural batting.

I'm happy that another finish gets crossed off the list.  Daylight savings time is coming this weekend... I'm starting to see less sewing time but more outside-in-the-flowerbed time coming.  

I'm linking up with Angela at SoScrappy for the RSC26.

     I'm linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching here.

 

I'm linking up for Oh Scrap! at Quiting is more fun than housework.
