I apologize for my absence the past few days. There's a lot of things to do this time of year. I started trimming my yard back but still have some plants and Rose Of Sharon trees left to trim. I haven't seen a hummingbird in over a week so I'll go out this afternoon and bring my feeders in. I have all the windows done except for the living room so that's on my schedule for next week.
In the meantime, I finished up the black Crazy Quilt purse that I was working on. Well, the stitching done. I'm planning on sewing it together tomorrow:
And here are some closeup photos of the seam embroidery and bead work that I did:
I made the rose from a piece of velvet upholstery trim.
I satin stitched the flowers on this lace applique. The flower buttons were a bit bright so I painted them with a pearly pink nail polish to soften them up a bit.
As I mentioned, I plan to sew this piece together tomorrow.
I've been stitching on some cellphone pouches so I'll have photos of those soon too. And, for my students, Lesson 9 will be available soon! Here's a sneak peek:
Would you like to see the first 9 blocks together? Here you go!
The first 8 lessons of my
online crazy quilt class are available at Magcloud. Lesson 9 will be available shortly. I'll will let you know when Jason has it uploaded.
Nail polish is an invaluable tool for stitchers - I find lots of uses for it, and none of them involve my nails. Your purse is looking gorgeous.
