Several Finishes

I completed several projects last week.

First is this little Basket doorknocker pillow. The basket is crayon tinted and embroidered with a rayon thread about the same size as a #5 perle cotton. The flowers are worked with overdyed floss from Needle Necessities. I added some beads for sparkle and dimension.



Next is this pretty little Flower Cart doorknocker pillow. I believe this is a Vogart pattern. Again, I crayon tinted the tulips, embroidered it using overdyed threads from Needle Necessities and then added beads for some sparkle.



Last but not least, is my Rose Garden Handbag. I added some vintage lace to the bottom and a vintage button. I'm going to try coming up with a different pattern for finishing these. The finishing on these handbags takes forever!



I've added these to my Etsy Boutique. If you would like to see larger photos, just click on one of the pictures to go to my Flickr site.

I'm a bit surprised but judging by my Flickr stats, these Fractal designs are a bit more popular than I had anticipated.

So here's another one that you can print on fabric sheets and work into your crazyquilts or other art quilts. You can also use them for cards, scrapbooking and altered art.

Enjoy!

This one is so beautiful, isn't it? I'm still amazed at what computers can do! Print this up on a fabric sheet and work into your crazyquilt projects.

I have some yard work to do and then I'll get back to working on my peacock!

I finally was able to start stitching on one of Gina's Peacock designs. I love the primative look of this little one so decided to do him first!

Call me crazy (it's ok, really!) I'm stitching the entire design with Rayon floss! I'm sure many of you know how challenging rayon threads are to work with but isn't the shine amazing?

If I have the right colors, I want to use some crystals in the centers of the tail feathers. And because I "must embellish" I'll probably find a place for a few seed beads. If they look good!

I want to make this into a handbag for myself.
