Bleeding Blooms 2024 Part 2
What I hadn’t mentioned in the previous Blog is that this Project is Time Sensitive. A good friend was leaving the County and therefore I had a Deadline to meet. This being the case naturally something was bound to go wrong.
Colour Variety
I began to add a Variety of Colours in the Circular Blooms.
One Corner Done
One Corner Done and Time is going much faster than I would like. I need to press on with the other side. I am taking my Embroidery with me when I go places so I can keep Sewing. This includes Sewing whilst travelling by car which isn’t easy.
Missed
Lots of rude naughty words. I though I had finished all the Red and Orange Blooms but I have Missed some. I didn’t notice this until I started Trimming all the Tails off. Now I need to find these Colours again.
Stained
Okay so it is D -Day. I finished Sewing at 3.15 this morning then spent an hour Trimming off Tail Ends. All I have to do is Wash and Press the Cloth
I am having a Nervous Breakdown!. Whilst Ironing I have found in one Corner the Colour has Bled. I try various home remedies with my friend helping. I also call another friend for suggestions.
I Re-wash and Iron the Cloth hoping that it will be better. Unfortunately despite all our combined efforts the Stain is still visible. However I am out of Time and have to go. I can’t even wrap it because it is still Damp.
Double Take
Here is a photograph of the Finished Project above. I had a Double Take when I initially saw it. At first I thought there was a huge Stain. Then I realised that what you don’t see because of editing is that I am standing behind it holding it up. It is the Pattern on my Clothes that is showing through.
The real Stain is barely visible and hopefully will come out when washed again. The upshot is that I got it delivered on time and my friend loved it.
My hands still have the imprint of the Embroidery Ring in them so no Sewing for a while and absolutely no more Blooms Bleeding on Cloths!
