Vogart Poodle

Why or why aren't there more hours in the day to stitch?!! I only had enough stitching time yesterday to complete this little Vogart Poodle design. Once I rince the tracing lines out, I'll be sewing on a little satin bow to the top of his head instead of stitching the bow on.

Since I must embellish, I replaced the french knots with seed beads. I'm off to attempt to do some finishing on my sewing machine, this little design included!

Saturday's Chart Seam Treatments

Here are today's seam treats. Sharon mentioned to me that these could be used on little band samplers too. Geez, why didn't I think of that? My brain is in crazyquilting mode and can't think of much else! Be sure to stop by Sharon's In A Minute Ago Blog to see her embellishment series "100 details in a 100 days".

Besides crazyquilting, I've been wanting to play with my extensive collection of vintage iron-on transfers. So I spent 2 hours yesterday afternoon tracing a few of my small patterns. As I mentioned the other day, I'm really into cool little handbags so I want to make a few and thought it would be a neat use my transfers.

This is a Vogart design.

Strawberry Block Day 4

I only did one seam on this yesterday. I used the "Circle" design that I posted below. At the moment, it greatly competes with the strawberry print, but once I bead it, it will really pop out! It looks really cool in person! I plan to add some large beads to the center of the cirlces and then of course, seed beads to the fans.
