Painted Daisies

A few years back, I was fortunate enough to find a huge spool of cotton daisy trim at a flea market.  There had to have been at least 100 yards on the spool and I only paid $5.00 for it!

I got a bee in my bonnet yesterday and decided I wanted to play with the fabric dyes so I pulled out my daisies and went to town!

I'll be using these on some upcoming projects.

And speaking of bees in a bonnet, I finished stitching my Bee purse:

Scott said it looks like something for a 12 year old.  Well, I've been known to be childish childlike.  LOL!  This one is mine!  I'll have to make some time to put it together.  I still have to put my Peacock quilt together too!

Update On Bee Purse

Other than some cleaning, I spend most of the morning stitching on my Bee Purse:

I just love these colors!  This is so cheery to look at!

I'm going to work on Lesson 1 of my upcoming Crazy Quilt class and a my next book for awhile and then I'll stitch on this some more later this afternoon.

Happy Halloween!

Here's my latest kitty photo:

My beautiful Nightmare!  He turned 17 last week.  He's doing well on the special kidney diet.  We took him for another blood test on Saturday and his numbers have definitely improved.  He's still recovering from the stroke he had 2 months ago though.  He was doing really good with that until we took him to the vet on Sat.  I think taking him out of the house was a little bit of a setback for him.  But he is a beauty isn't he?  He's been with me since he was 3 weeks old.

In other news, here's my latest stitching project:

My mom gave me that green bee awhile back and I thought he would be cute on a purse.  I think this is really cheery looking!

Have a Happy Halloween everyone!  Don't eat too much candy....unless it's chocolate!

Crazy Quilt Dolls

I finished up the dress for my 3rd little Crazy Quilt Doll:

Now to assemble these!  I'll be doing that this week.

In the meantime, I'm working on Lesson 1 of my Color & Composition Classes starting in January. 

Also, for anyone who has and uses my Elegant Crazy Quilt Seam Treatments books, there's a Flickr group for sharing photos of your stitched borders.  This is just for photos of blocks that have my borders on them but it is open to the public.

Crazy Quilt Christmas Ornaments

Well, these Crazy Quilt Ornaments would be for a large Christmas tree or a door knob:

I think these will be the last of my Christmas things for this year.  I don't know if mom will be doing anything or not.  Next on my stitching list is to finish up my little Crazy Quilt Dolls.  These ornaments are in my Etsy shop.
