The first student block of
Lesson 6 has arrived in my inbox! And it is a beauty! This is Karin's Strawberry Fields block:
All elements are included! Karin's appliqued strawberry is just lovely and it stands out perfectly on the white lace! There are strawberry flowers here, free hand embroidered vines and check out that gorgeous spider web!!! Not to mention the incredible spider! And some lovely beadwork!
I am seeing some amazing results from my students! The blocks are so well balanced, the techniques are perfectly executed and the creativity is shining through! I so much look forward to receiving photos from each lesson. Karin, this is beautiful. You did good girl!
And speaking of crazy quilting, here are two of my finishes. A couple of my Crazy Quilt Cat Dolls:
These two cats are gifts but I just sewed up a whole pile of them so there will be more! And speaking of my cat dolls, it's come to my attention that some stitchers are trying to duplicate my cat doll pattern from my photos. From now on, I will not post the works in progress of my cat dolls. Only the finished cats.
I'd like to ask that if anyone becomes aware of someone trying to duplicate my cat dolls, please let me know. This pattern is my own original and it is NOT for sale and although I've been asked several times, I will
not make the pattern available. These cats are
my signature. I make them for special gifts and they are my signature item in my
Etsy shop. They are exclusively available from me and I really want to keep it that way. Please read about the history of my
Crazy Quilt Cat Dolls here.
And then, speaking of cats, here's a new photo of my little Cotton ball:
Cotton of course was in motion! But I think he likes Pinterest! I took him to the vet this morning for a little check up. He has an eye infection so I have to give him an antibiotic and an eye gel twice a day. Scott's going to have to help me with that one! But other than that, he's in good shape! And I think he's going to my little Mama's boy. Nightmare was my Mama's boy and I miss that. Lucy is more bonded with Scott. I can't quite tell yet who Wrigley is more bonded with. Probably me because I'm here all the time but it's a little hard to tell at this point.
