Row by row

Now ready for my hand quilting. Love hand quilting because it gives me my time with my thoughts. Also just in time for winter hybernation!

Block completed!

This is the extra block l have embroidered for my best friend of over 30 years. She is the one that likes to push me out of my comfort zone on my embroidery journey!

Another Block?????

I had one block left from my Crazy Quilt and decided to embroider it for my bestest friend Anna.
I notice that this is not the finished block but at least you can see what I have completed.
I really had lots of laughs on this one, I tried to embroidery some of the stuff I had done on my
big Crazy Quilt, but as always my work has a life of its own and this is what I have accomplished.

Now hanging in its right place forever!

My crazy quilt has found the right place in this home. At last l now can admire my work while working on my other project s!

My Autumn wallhanging

I have now completed my lovely autumn wall hanging and just in time for our autumn now. I received this gorgeous fabric from a very dear friend Pamela who lives in Florida USA.

cotton fabric at last!

Well now onto the next project. I love these brights from DaGama textiles. Just added a crazy border and now for hand quilting but somehow l stitched one cat wrong way, so will have to undo that first. Lots of paper piecing used here.

More embroidery

I have a block of my crazy quilt left and working on it and here l have added a picture of each stage which is not planned. My creativity just takes over and decides what next.
I have used organza ribbon for flower and crochet maroon centre with gold beads. The stems and leaves are also crochet cotton. Found a easy way to make these lovely leaves. Anyone interested to know how? Just leave a comment and l will show step by step in my blog.

A Small Addition!!

I nearly forgot a small necessary addition a quilter always adds to a quilt and that is a spider and web. Its for good luck!  There are many such cute traditions in the quilting world that goes back many generations l am sure! Some of them long forgotten.

Shopping anyone?

Have now completed my long outstanding shopping bag at last. Fabric l used for doll dress was given to me from a special friend .

trrrr Drum roll pls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have now been able to take a photo of my crazy quilt. Here it is and it is 250x250cm square. Thank you all for the support I have had through the 3 years I have been working on this wonderful special quilt.

Drum roll please!!!!!!!!!

I have now completed my crazy top and will be posting a picture as soon as l have a few hands to hold the quilt for me. Its is very heavy and l am still not sure which way l want to go with this great achievement of mine. Would love to share it with a local magazine too. If l can do this so can many others too. Just lots of time and dedication is is involved.
