Another embroidery piece.....

I made another little hanging from a freebie I downloaded from Jenny of Elefantz Designs.

I think I've only appliqued twice before (if even that many times) so it was something different to do.

The light today was the pits for taking pictures. So far we had a very mild winter...maybe I shouldn't say that out loud. Today we had a little dusting of snow which is the first we've had in weeks.  I haven't worn my boots yet once this winter....shhh.

I'm joining up today with Needlework Tuesday.....

Take care:)

The Booby Bird.......

Jenny of ELEFANTZ Designs offers a free image called the "Booby Bird" on her blog. The name made me laugh. You can find this pattern on her Craftsy site here.

I thought it was quite a sweet little picture so I downloaded a copy and made a small wall hanging for my sewing room. 

It's raining yet again. No problem...rain is good. Our cat Deva went out to take a look and was back inside after about five minutes. A little too cold and too wet for her majesty.

WIP.....

I have done all the seam treatments except one on my block for Kathy Shaw's class on Crazy Quilting. The final seam will have ribbon flowers and leaves which we will get "how to" info on hopefully soon.

It's snowing here today so no light for a decent picture.

I'm supposed to add lace motifs now to a few spots here and there but as yet I haven't done that step. I haven't got any lace motifs....ha ha. I couldn't find any that I liked in the right size. I checked out some sites on line but the cost for shipping three or four little lace thingies was twice the actual cost of them. I'm too cheap:)

So I guess I'll have to go with a plan "B". 

After we do the sik ribbon stuff we will be doing beading and adding some charms. I have a few that I might use. Then again maybe not. I like the dragonfly but not in silver so much.

So that's where I am with this block.

On my other seasonal wall hanging crazy quilt project I had a rethink about the fabrics I was using for Summer. Not enough variety in colour and that butterfly bit had to go. What was I thinking? So I'm making a new block which I will show you soon:)

I'll be back soon.

I'm also joining up with the Needle & Thread Network as I  haven't done so in a while. I'm not a traditional quilter but I figure when I do participate at TN&TN  it's to bring something different into the mix whether it's about my doll making or now my new venture into crazy quilting.



Take care:) 

WIP......................

I'm a bit later this week with my post.

Winter lethargy set in me thinks. Snowy but with bright blue skies that make you long for spring.....sigh.

And, I also forgot to recharge my camera:)

Never mind......here is my Winter crazy quilt block. Just a wee bit more work on the motif  in the left hand bottom corner and I think it's done.

Double click to enlarge. 
 

I've also have been doing a some repairs which I hate....coat zippers. Two of them.....argghh.

One had a 36 inch zipper. I was lucky to find one on Etsy from a Canadian supplier.

The other is a very very bright hot pink. I could not find a replacement and had to make do with a pinky red. Not to worry though. It's for a three year old and if she gets some more wear out of it this winter all the best because next year it won't fit her.

I'm joining up with The Needle & Thread Network and Needlework Tuesday (late again).

Take care:)
