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 I joined the blocks with a lovely bright green leave and shades of pink french knots. The leaves came out great. I did a long stitch and then went over that with a chain stitch and then using the weaving technique I wove these lovely leaves through all three legs. uhm thinking I will have to make some more of these in the rest of the quilt as it was so nice and easy and also fun to see that the leaves did not all turn out to be exactly the same. |

| Here the 4 seams come together just to show that I am now embroidering on the seams after joining my blocks together |

Last but not least, at last I have now wrapped all
the Christmas gifts and just hoping the grandsons will
enjoy them.
