Strawberry Block Day 7

Strawberry Block Day 7
Originally uploaded by Kitty And Me.

As I mentioned yesterday, I wanted more strawberry beads for this project. Smaller ones. So got out my little box of poly clay and made some myself.. They 're really cute and worked out quite well on the feather stitch to the right. I also added sequins to the lace at the bottom. I know some crazy quilters don't care for using sequins but I love sparkle and they certainly add that!

100 Details For 100 Days - Day 10

Today's seam treats are based on a lattice-work theme. I worked a basic design which you can customize or do as is. Then I worked another 2 borders for you which are a bit more detailed.

I hope you enjoy them. If you would like to see some of these designs in action, visit Sharon's In A Minute Ago blog to see her fabric postcard. Sharon used several of the borders to do a band sampler and then she made it into a really cool postcard for her journel. Notice that Sharon customized some of the borders too! Which is what I hope other stitcher's will do. Add your own ideas to them!

I started adding beads to this block yesterday. I filled in the lazy daisy flowers and leaves with seed beads, added some Czech glass beads and seed beads to my charted circle border at the top, attached my glass strawberry beads, which I've been saving for this project, to the vine on the left of the big strawberry. I wish I had some smaller strawberry beads. Since I don't, I think I'll get out my Poly Clay stash and see if I can make some!

More tomorrow!

Seam Treats For Thursday

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!
