Wow still embroidering!!!
Wow still embroidering slowly but surely. It is very hot here and temps are over the 40*C daily here and its is a bit warm under all this fabric on my lap.
I am trying to work something in the mornings. Hubby and I were chatting this morning how just more and more ideas of embroidery possibilities are still coming in my head for the finishing of the crazy quilt. I have decided that I did not want the separate blocks to show but will embroider over them to have a nice overall crazy quilt. Here is what I am doing. Using some of the embroidery that I did on the blocks and taking it further over the other blocks to form a nice overall flow.

Here is where I have added more of the same embroidery over the seams to have a continues flow of embroidery and not block by block |
Here the 4 seams come together just to show that I am now embroidering on the seams after joining my blocks together |
Joining at the new seams
Last but not least, at last I have now wrapped all
the Christmas gifts and just hoping the grandsons will
enjoy them.

Busy Busy and a surprise!!!!!
Christmas decorations are now up and this is what it looks like before the lights are switched on. |
Here I have started with the embroidery after joining the blocks together into rows and now joined 2 rows I will be doing two by two and then join with the centre row. |
Here you can see my crystal ball when the sprinklers have settled down. |
