Having a Blast

Well, I was suppose to be working on some assignments this weekend for my ribbon embroidery class, and I was also suppose to be working on a couple quilts but instead I dusted off the old glue gun and made a couple Vintage Journals.  I have been scavaging at the local thrift store and saving buttons, ribbons and assorted junk jewelry for quite some time now and after studying the style on Pinterest, I finally gave it a try.  Let's hope they find a new home at the upcoming craft sale that the Cultural Center is hosting.

No! I haven't died!!

....I have been quietly stitching up some needle case books for an upcoming craft sale and have finally finished all seven.  It's been awhile since I made the last batch and these ones are slightly different in size but similar in construction.  Here they are inside and out...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And that is what has kept me busy for the last few weeks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Round Robin Block by Lori Truzy

Lori shared her stitching with me today on messenger.  I am so tickled to see my finished block and love all the pretty flowers and stitching she did.

This block will become a reusable journal book cover.

 

Sheila's Round Robin CQ Block

 

First and Definityly not the Last

As mentioned last month I have started a Round Robin in my Crazy Quilt International group, with 5 other ladies.  I just mailed off my first attempt at this block by Maggie K.  Her 6.5 inch square blocks are in a patriotic red, white and blue.  Here is my finished block.

 

I am now working on Sheila's block in a very pretty dusty rose and sage green and will post a photo tomorrow.  I just have one little final touch to make on it and it'll be finished.
