Ready To Stitch
As I mentioned yesterday, I ran my sewing machine all weekend. I can't believe how much stuff I got done! I did alot of finishing and I sewed up 7 more crazy quilt blocks:

Strawberry Block Day 5
A quick update on my Strawberry block. I added the pink buttonhole wheels which was inspired by Sharon's Day 2 seam treatment. It's a bit of a variation.
I also added the satin stitched leaves (from my charted maple leaf border) and then the buttonhole fans at the bottom. I'm going to start adding beads and other do-dads now and we'll see where this goes.
More tomorrow.

Basket Kitten 2 Handbag
I spent the last 3 days running my sewing machine. I got so many things finished! I also sewed up some new CQ blocks. But I'll start with this little Basket Kitten Handbag. Is this just too cute or what! I love making these. I'll share more of my finishing over the next few days.
The Feather Stitch for Tuesday's Seam Treats
One of the girls at the Hand Embroidery Yahoo Group pointed out to me that if I do 3 seam treatments a day for 100 days, that would be 300 designs! Somehow, that sounded really cool to me so that's what I'm shooting for! Since I only offered my readers 2 yesterday, I'm giving you 4 for today!
Sharon set the theme for today's seam treats by discussing the Feather Stitch on her In A Minute Ago blog. I love the feather stitch. Not only is it a beautiful stitch but it's so much fun to do! So I've charted the basic feather stitch for you and then am offering 3 different embellished versions.

Enjoy!
