I belong to a Facebook group called Crazy Quilt Divas and they have started a new thread called Finish Friday. The thread is designed to get you back stitching on an abandoned CQ project. I really don't have a lot of those (itty bitty fib) but I will join in when I can.
This is a before and after of a block I did last year. I'm really not sure what I was thinking of when I did it?? I never finished it because I couldn't decide what to put in the middle.
The first pic was taken inside last December and the second taken today outside on a cloudy day. I can't believe how washed out the first one looks. The second is pretty close to the actual colours.
Basically all I did was take out the beige seams and using the three main colours in the embroidery redid them. Then I used those colours for the small flowers in the middle. I'm calling it done.
Take care :)
Your hand work is impeccable! I love when you post your projects.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much :)
DeleteSo good to see your work again. It makes me consider embroidered blocks..
ReplyDeleteI'll be posting more often. I like these small projects.
DeleteLovely work. I shall try and do some embroidery soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteThere is so much to see in your blocks. I love the edging of the heart as well as all the is inside it.

Thank you :) It's a challenge to finish the raw edge. Using chain stitch and a bit of lace seems to work.
DeleteNice to have a prompt to encourage us to finish projects. I'm afraid I've given up on CQ - at least for the time being. Landscapes seem to have captured my imagination but I still put CQ elements into those too.
ReplyDeleteToo be honest I'm getting tired of CQ as well but I will finish my CQJP blocks.....eventually.
