Had a Stitch'en Marathon this Weekend...

I was busy getting caught up this weekend with my CQJP blocks and managed to get April and May completed.  Please go to 2018 CQJP for viewing.  Thanks.

A Tranquil Moment This Weekend

I was fortunate to find this very delicate tatted doily at the thrift store this winter.  A wee bit boring in white, so I dipped it into the dye pot when I was doing a batch of turquoise bits and pieces.  I pulled it out of the box many times searching for other pieces but never really had a light bulb moment until I came across this double swan broach in a box of junk jewelry .... well a picture speaks a thousand words ..... and another productive weekend in the sewing room.

Something Finished and Something Started

Just a heads up ... my March CQJP block is finished and uploaded to the file.  I'm now ready to tackle the April block and plan on doing this theme until June and then I will change.  I'm thinking of maybe a softer pastel color palate.

 

Now ... for something I just started.  I have decided to do a bit of embroidery on this piece.  A pond and a bit of greenery perhaps... I'll be sure to post the finished piece when it's done.

 

Have a great week my friends.

CRAZY QUILTED CLUTCH

Wouldn't this be adorable for a wedding or graduation this summer?
