Seam Treats For Thursday

Today's offerings are for the simple little box stitch. Perfect for waste canvas! I've worked a basic box stitch chart which you can use as is or add your own embellishing ideas to it along with 2 more variations:



1/2 inch wide on 8.5 count waste canvas



1 inch wide on 8.5 count waste canvas



1 1/4 inch wide on 8.5 count waste canvas

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:



I also did some crayon tinting on the iron-on transfer designs I traced last week:



Now to finish my work for the day so I can get to stitching!

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.

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.
