So the BQL Challenge for August (half square triangles) is the perfect introduction back into stitching and I've completed it in record time! I decided to go back to using Colour Catchers as they were easily to hand. The boring greys are from our washing machine, the brighter colours a donation after I used/blogged about colour catchers in January (thanks Anne).
After I'd laid them out and sown them altogether in this diagonal pattern, I thought the back with the seams was more interesting so taking advantage of the non-fray qualities of Colour Catchers , this became the front.
To catch down the seam allowances I used a fancy stitch on my machine ( no 12 on Bernina Artista 125) with Maderia metallic and fluorescent polyneon thread.
I've named it 'Raspberry Ripple' as in the ice cream - it's years since I've had it, I'd probably find it too sweet now being a convert to Rookbeare Raspberry Sorbet (their passionfruit sorbet is pretty good too). No affiliation.

Trashy novels really are chicken soup for the brain, aren't they? I hope that you pull out of sick sty soon.
oh, ick, hope you feel better.
the colors here remind me of juice.
You will be better for FOQ though, right? Hopefully sooner than that. Trying to beam positive thoughts your way.
Good to see you're feeling up to blogging again - hope your recovery accelerates from this point on!
Glad to hear you are on the mend. Hope you are soon fully recovered.
