Crazy Quilt Journal Project.....Blocks 8, 9 and 10

I have no idea what I was thinking when I put these fabrics together. They do sorta match but it was very hard finding thread colours, trims and beads etc for the seams that looked okay.  I'm surprised I had what I had in my stash of stuff. I have a lot of beads and I sat there and wondered to myself where the heck some of them came from?? Like those large greyish purplish seed beads I used on the top left hand seam. I can't imagine actually going out and buying them. Oh well :) Anyway it's done !!!

Bees. That was my thought after I put this block together. I finally found a place for some of my black beads.  I really like how it turned out in the end. 

 

Note to self. Never make a heart block with an open space in the middle. An open space that needs to be filled. Plus no matter how I tried it puckered with the tension of the other seams. Rats. I was going to put a tree in the middle and did actually started to do one. I changed my mind as it puckered more so I found the butterfly :) 

It's pouring buckets at the moment. Perfect day to listen to an audio book and do some needlework.

Take care :)

Crazy Quilt Journal Project......Block 7

Block seven done. I finally found a place for the little cat I made in 2014 while taking an online CQ class with Kathy Seaman Shaw.  I always thought he looked a bit worried LOL  And....I finally used a bit of some lace I bought at least 10 years ago if not more. 

Take care 😀

Crazy Quilt Journal Project....Block 6

Another block to add to the done pile. Someone on Facebook asked me what I was going to do with them. They don't have a theme as such....except heart shaped....or match colour wise. So I'm going to put them into a cloth book.

Take care :) 

Crazy Quilt Journal Project 2022...........Block 5....

I must have been in a very weird mind set when I made up this very very bright orange block. I never realized I had so many orange fabrics. It looks better in person. Much milder. Getting the right light to photo this today was next to impossible.  It needed to be a cloudy day. 

Added this second pic taken later when it clouded over. Rain again. It's been a wet summer. 

Not much better. Ah well.

Take care 😊

Crazy Quilt Journal Project.....Block 4..............

I finally finished another block for CQJP2022.  Well I think it's finished. I may go back and add some wee touch later as there are a few blank spots. For now I'm calling it done!!!!

On to block 5.......

Take care 😀

Finish Friday and CQJP2022...................

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. 

Next............

The second finished block for the Crazy Quilt Journal Project 2022.  Yes I know it's July 1st and I'm a wee bit behind but whatever 😀

I have even started my third block.......I'm on a roll.

Take care :) 

Hello...I'm still here.....

It's been awhile since I last posted. I haven't been doing much creating for some reason. I did decide to join in the Crazy Quilt Journal Project for 2022.  

Er...I'm a wee bit behind the schedule.

This is my January entry.

I'm doing hearts this year created with fabric I had in my stash. This one was a challenge because of the colours and the fact that it has two strips of fabric plus two small bits. Bad idea. When I made the heart it looked okay but when I started adding stuff it sort of melded into one dark background. Oh well. I'm calling it done. 

The beads on the braid are some really pretty yellow blue green beads that I bought many years ago. You can't really see how nice they are in the pic. Ah well. 

Take care 😀
