Here are some additional photos that I had mentioned over at Tangled Textiles. I had so many layouts to choose from when I decided to do a tic-tack-toe dual of machine vs hand. Here are just a few.
I wanted the hand to win for once as it never wins with me; I always choose the machine whenever possible even though I do want to do more hand stitching. So I struggled with hand stitching the cord until I found a glove made it so much easier. Then I found I didn't like it and the machine won again.
I didn't get to free motion on our last challenge so I made up for it this time. I used one of my hand-dyed fabrics for the back.
And the front finally came together like this ....
Head over to Tangled Textiles and see the wonderful pieces the ladies came up with! I am feeling very humbled by what they have created!
