Estate Sale Find

Here's another thing I found today while cruising estate sales. It is a pin cushion. Of course, these cushions are just dying to be removed and replaced with something crazy!

Garage Sale

Look what I found at a garage sale! An unfinished crazy quilt done by the WI mother of the salesperson. An all the extra ties I wanted. Most of the quilt is made out of ties. That is my suave cat Oreo who had to start something. Soon all three cats were roaming around on it. Now to decide what to do with it. Add stitching? Back and bind? What?

Sharon's block - Summer Flower Garden RR

Here is the work I did on Sharon's summer flower garden block. I added the hand dyed venice lace, the gathered lavender made of boullions, the feathered chain stitch, and the silk beaded flower.

Silk Flowers

Here is a great deal I got on some 1980's silk flower kits. I will not be making flowers in the traditional sense with them, but adorning my crazy quilt blocks with them. I bought an entire box from a gal who had been a craft store owner years ago and didn't realize quite what I had until later. Here are pictures of what the flowers look like and a picture of what I did with one of them. I can't wait to play with more of them!

Summer Flower Garden RR - Velina's Block

This is the stitching I did to Velina's block in the Summer Flower Garden Round Robin I'm participating in. I did the silk ribbon flowers, the duckies, and the green bead seam treatment.

My work on Sue's Block

This is my work on Sue's block for the Summer Flower Garden Round Robin. She didn't do any work on her block before she sent it to me, so all the work is mine. Hope you like it Sue!

Baggie Swap and Block Challenge

In our yahoo group, CQ for Newbies, we had a baggie swap and then a challenge to make a block out of the goodie bag full of fabric and embellishments that we received in the swap. I received a lovely assortment of goodies from Debbie in Maine and made this block. The group voted on the 7 competitors and I got 2nd place!
