Prairie Points and Rouleau Loops

After having done task two for the Embroidery, Embellish,Create course, I went back to do task one.  The first part was to make prairie points.

 The first ones I make, were the larger plain ones on the bottom, then I thought I would like some smaller ones.  The second batch were used making the pattern fabric.  These will appear somewhere in the embroidered cloth, probably as an edging or for one of the seams.  I am sure there will be some more of these made.

Once these were done, I sat down to do the rouleau loops.  I did have a fleeting thought go through my brain wondering why I didn't do the hardest bit first.  However, this was so much easier than I had expected.  The tubes turned out perfectly, and so easily after following Karen's clear instructions.

 I'll have two different sizes.  The small ones were the first, and I thought they would probably look better bigger, so cut some more.  They will sit under some seams somewhere along the way, but in the meantime, I can admire the neat tubes.

I shall definitely be making more of these now the fear has gone.
