I finished up on Block #8 of my Marie Antoinette Crazyquilt this morning:
I'm very pleased with how this block came out. I have one more block to stitch up and then I can start the assembly process. I still have my Button Quilt blocks to put together as well.
I know it looks like like I accomplish a lot and I do. But when it comes to bigger projects, like finishing a quilt, yes, my ADD gets in the way. I know how to break things down into manageable sections but sometimes getting started is a challenge for me. I think once I get the last block for the Marie quilt stitched, I'll be able to focus on getting both this one and the Button quilt put together. Stayed tuned for those everyone!
In other news, I'm almost up to 400 Followers! Yay!!!! I'm going to have a drawing for one of my cat dolls when we hit that 400 mark. Feel free to pass the news around! I'll stitch up the cat doll next before I move on to the final block of Marie.

Marie Block #8 Almost Done!
I've been stitching on this block, adding beads and flowers:
The next thing I'll do is embellish that lace piece on top right. I want to do some sequins and some silk ribbon embroidery on it.
It's almost done! I have a hummingbird that I want to add to this block and I think a fancy button. Can't remember at the moment. Anyway, I'll post another update when it's complete!

Marie Antoinette Block #8 Continued
I've started the beading on Block #8 of my Marie Antoinette Crazy Quilt:
I'm really getting excited about this quilt now. I think it'll be so pretty hanging in my Living Room. As much as I love my Crazy Garden quilt from last year, I think I love this one more!
I'm off to do some more beading before I have to go toWalMart.

Marie Antoinette Crazy Quilt Block #8
Being that today is the first full day of Spring, I thought I'd better get a move on with my Marie Antoinette Crazy Quilt!
After running into town this morning and doing some paperwork, I took several hours for myself and started stitching. This is the block with the lace & trims:
And here it is with the seams embroidered:
Can you find the borders that are from my Elegant Crazy Quilt Seam Treatment book?

New Boutique Items
Just a quickie post for today ladies! My "to do" list is a mile long! Thought I'd share our new Boutique items. First, mom's new Easter Tussy Mussy's:
I just love mom's tussie mussies! Next are my little Wedding Bells:
I took vintage bell ornaments, added some tulle, pink ribbon and vintage millinery flowers. I thought these would be pretty as a Wedding Gift decoration!
