Just Finished

I've been doing some stitching on my little 6 inch crazy quilt blocks and completed 2 more of them:

When I was packing up mom's clothes, I found this sweatshirt that I made for her years ago.  The little Chippy is cross stitched on the shirt using waste canvas.  I did a lot of sweatshirts back in the 90's!  Anyway, I decided to just cut out the little stitched piece and use it on a block.

The large maple leaf is a pin from Avon.  Remember, my mom sold Avon for years and years!  Anyway, I have a green pin just like it that I used on another block.

Again, the little Wood duck was stitched on a sweatshirt for my dad back in the 90's.  He loved it and wore it right up to the last time he went into the hospital.   So again, I cut out the little stitched piece and worked it into this block.

I must have had blizzard conditions on my mind the other day when I stitched this.  We're getting dumped on today!  Anyway, the silver trim is vintage, probably from the 40's.  I found it at a flea market.  The birch trees on the right are just some fuzzy yarn that I couched on with some grey perle cotton. It's very glittery.  It actually looks like I just dropped a ton of sequins on it!  Ya'll know I love my sequins!
