Challenge Progress, WOW

Having been drawn to some lovely new fibres last weekend at our Guild meeting, I've been distracted from a little from sewing to complete some of the spinning projects that are on the go.


Firstly I've plyed some of the 200 grams of camel/silk fibre

And I've started to finish off the blue/green/pink blended fibres - there is a ball of this in singles format stashed way so I hope to complete this and ply it up before the next Guild meeting.  But for that I also need to have the Sanquhar Challenge project completed.

On than front - one of the woven panels is now 'fused' down, and tonight's challenge is to carefully sew the edges down and turn the weft strips under.  If this works hopefully I'll also be able to get this panel correctly placed and secured into position on the bag panel.  So fingers crossed, I'll be able to progress the second woven panel at the weekend along similar lines, and if necessary only need minor adjustments to make the task a lot easier.

Then I'll need to dye the fibres for the seed stitching into the woven grid.  Lots of work here for me, unless I find an alternative, simpler Sanquhar pattern block.
