I thought you might enjoy seeing some gorgeous Crazy Quilting! I could stare at these pieces all day and never get anything done around here!

I must warn you though, if you're on dial-up, you'll want to go get a snack and something to drink. Both sites take about 3 or 4 minutes to load on dial-up but I promise you, these are well worth the wait!

Butterfly Block Completed!
Well, I enjoyed this block so much! I can't believe it's done. I had to force myself to stop stitching on it. Scott said there's too much junk on it. He said it's too crazy. I told him is a CQ, it's supposed to be that way!
When I was spending all my stitching time doing X stitch, all I could think of when I was stitching, was how fast could I get it done so I could get to the next project. Anyone else ever feel that way? I was never in the moment, always thinking of the next pattern.
But with CQing and transfer embroidery, I never feel that way. My focus is always on what I'm doing and I actually feel a little sad when I complete projects now because I enjoy them so much!

Ginas Baking Day Vintage Style Towel Challenge
The first towel in our "Vintage Style Towel Challenge" has come in and it's from Gina at Patra's Place!
Is this just too cute or what? I believe Gina used an Aunt Martha's Iron-On transfer. I'm awaiting her confirmation on that.
Gina, thank you so much for joining the challenge and for sharing your project with us! This little girl is very "vintage" looking and your stitching is perfect!
If you're interested in joining the "Vintage Style Towel Challenge", see my July 19th post for the criteria.

Chicken Scratch Leaflet
I have alot to share today so I'll do a little at a time throughout the day in between my design work.
The first order of business is to share this great Leisure Arts leaflet on Chicken Scratch! One of the girls at my X Stitch Chat Board found this at a garage sale and offered it to me. Wow! I love it!
This is the front cover:
My first project will be that apple! It's just too cute!
And this is the back cover:
I love the little fruit basket too! Now to find some more stitching time!

Vintage Stitched Aprons At Patra's Place
Ok, this will be my last post for today. I just wanted to take a moment to say that if you're into vintage aprons, you simply must visit Gina at Patra's Place. Oh my goodness! Gina has shared photos of some of her vintage stitched apron collection! I told Gina that I would be sending her the bill for a new keyboard because I'm drooling all over mine! These are gorgeous! Please take a peek! I'm off to stitch now.
