My poor little neglected blog! Actually, I haven't been neglecting it. My backup battery unit went out last week and I didn't want to take a chance with my computer by having it on without the back up battery. I bought a new one over the weekend and got it hooked up today. Our power goes out a lot here. We live in a very wooded area. Anyway, things are back up and running fine now!
My latest finish is this
Redwork Cat Pillow:
Several years ago, I designed a set of 4 of these pretty little kitten embroidery designs. I thought it would be fun to use one as a focal point for a crazy quilt piece. I've always loved the old fashioned look of outline embroidery. In keeping with tradition, I stitched this piece in red and white and used lots of vintage mother of pearl buttons and vintage red buttons.
I've also re-released the patterns in case anyone else would like make one:
There are 4
Redwork Cat designs in this booklet and it's available at Magcloud.
In other news, Lesson 3 of my
Crazy Quilt Color and Composition Classes will be available tomorrow, February 14th. I'll have photos of my students blocks from Lesson 2 in the next couple of days.
Lesson 4 will be available on March 17th, 2013.

Ah Pam, they are so sweet! I also love outline stitch; you can dress it up in so many ways as you have done here.
BTW, I found some more lace in our opshop, so I'm putting it in the mail soon with a little surprise ;-)
I like this embroidery very much. The cat is looking so cute on pillow cover. Will try this kind of embroidery soon.
