Pink Stitching

It's no secret that pink is my favorite color!  And I work in pink quite a bit!  When I decided to make a few cellphone pouches, one of them had to be....yes, PINK!  LOL!!!  This one is all stitched and ready to sew up:

And here are closeup photos of the crazy quilt embroidery and embellishments:

This is one of my favorite borders to stitch.  The inspiration came from Brian Haggard.  I love the antique look of his crazy quilts!

This seam embroidery is worked with my Waste Canvas technique.  I love working with waste canvas!

Silk ribbon embroidery was a must for this block.

The little pink sequin flowers came from a tutorial that I found online years ago.  Next time I do them, I'll write up the instructions.

This little pink rosebud is a vintage brooch that I bought at a flea market earlier this Summer.

I'm working on a purple cellphone pouch now so I'll post photos of that next time.

Pink Cellphone Pouch

I mentioned the other day that my aunt asked me if I would make a pink crazy quilt cellphone pouch for her neighbor.  Of course, you never have to ask me twice to make something in pink!  Ya'll know it's my favorite color!  Anyway, I finished it up early this morning.  I mean very early!  Thanks to some very rude people who were shooting off fireworks at 2:00 a.m. this morning!

Anyway, here's the stitched piece:

The cameo is carved Mother Of Pearl.  It's really pretty!  I did a lot of ribbon roses on here with my hand dyed silk ribbon.  The flowers on the bottom left are just shank buttons with French Knots worked in 7MM silk ribbon going around the buttons.

I have several birthdays coming up so I'm working on a few gifts.  When I have a couple of them done, I'll sew this up along with the others and I'll share another photo.

Pink Cellphone Pouch

My aunt asked me if I would make a pink crazy quilt cellphone pouch for her neighbor.  I sewed it up over the weekend and starting stitching on it yesterday.  This is what I have so far:

I'm sure I'll have this finished up tomorrow. 

In the meantime, I have a couple of new pictures of my Lucy:

Isn't she a beauty?  She's still mad at me for taking Nightmare from her and giving her the little "monster".  Wrigley is actually a really good kitten but Lucy doesn't see it that way.
