Hi just added a few more pieces to Flickr. I just had to get a new computer and it's taking a while to adjust. I do love it tho. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I need to learn some new seam treatments because I'm getting bored with the same old thing. I also need to get more thread & beads, you can never have too much. (haha)
I've been working on some more heart and have uploaded them to flickr. I am obcessed with doing them as usual. I can't wait to get out of bed to start sewing & embroidering on them.
I finished a new heart last night so I thought I would post it. The weather is so beautiful today. I just love fall it makes you feel like stitching to your hearts content.
Here are the rest of my hearts. What does everyone do with thier hearts? How do you incorporate them into a quilt? I never seem to like how the quilt part turns out.
I just thought I would post 2 of the hearts that I am working on this week. I am in the middle of changing my sewing room around and rearranging all my things. Half my things are unstairs and alot is downstairs. I basically do my piecing on the sewing machine upstairs and all my handwork down stairs. Looking forward to fall coming again and doing my quilting.
Ok I no it's been quite a while since I posted. Now I'm back to crazy quilting again. It's funny I go crazy doing one form of crafting untill I can't do it anymore and go right into the next phase. I love it all it's so fun being able to enjoy all these different things. Hopefully I'll have some new pictures in the future.
Been a while since I posted. Here is a picture of what I just finished altho the picture is not that good. I seem to have a hard time taking the pictures.
Well now I'm back to cross stitch. Its been maybe 10 years since I did cross stitch but I still had all my books. Hate to part with anything. I have stopped tatting for a while now that I have tons of tatting thread and now I'm making a cross stitch quilt with all patterns of Santa's. As usual I can't stop doing it. I get obsessed with these things up till midnite & can't wait to get started during the day. Just thought I would post the first 3 santa's I did on it so far. I'm really bad at blogging, the posts a far & few between. (haha) Well till my next obcession takes over. Judy
Hearts
Hi welcome to my blogg. I just changed all my colors on here today and rearranged some things. I must say I haven't crazy quilted or embroidered in 6 months. I am going crazy with tatting. I can't even leave the house without taking it with me. I just find tatting so relaxing to do and it works up so fast. The pieces turn out so beautiful that I can't wait to start the next one.
Darlene's quilt
Hi don't have any new pictures this week. I'm trying to make a quilt for my dayghter, she"s getting married in November and I want to have the quilt done for her shower. We usually have different tastes, but I'm hoping she will like this quilt. It will have moose, tress, leaves and acorns on it.
She just loves moose and she has a few moose things in her home(salt & pepper etc). I hope it comes out good. She always askes me to make her something and I thought of this the other day and I must get busy on it. I will still be doing my heart blocks in between. Well bye for now---------------HAPPY QUILTING.
Darlene's Finished Quilt
I finished the quilt I was making for my daughters shower on Oct 5. I finished in plenty of time and I think it came out pretty well. She just loves moose and since it's fall and a fall wedding I put trees and acorns. I really hope she likes it. I used meandering for the backround quilting and on the border I quilted some of the leaves in the fabric pattern. I can;t wait to give it too her.
Darlene's shower
I am making these for the shower. I have to make 30 of them, so far I have 19 done. I have been doing it nonstop for 3 days. I hope to finish them today, and then I will get back to my crazy quilting. They have sachet in them, my daughter had received one as a gift years ago in red and she said mom I bet you could make these for the favors at the shower. I made my own pattern and formed the hangers out of wire. I hope she will like them as she doesn't no I decided to do them.
So much to do
I haven't had time to post any of my work. My daughter is getting married as you no and the shower is in 3 weeks. I am making the party favors so now I will have to work on that. I am also teaching myself how to tat, so I am really enjoying myself since I quit my job. I love it all this time for my hobbies.
Hope you enjoy the work I have posted today. Now I am about to get busy making more hearts. I eventually want to put them into a quilt.
These two blocks I have finished and appliqued them down on white fabric. I think the white backround really shows all the beadwork and embroidery.
Hi I just added some photo's to my photo stream on Flickr. I have finished some new hearts this week and I will try to post them later. I am so into this embroidery and crazy quilting that I can't stop. I enjoy looking at everyones blog and also there photo's on flickr. I am enjoying being at home and just working on the things I love.
