Seasonal Door Hangers Are Done!

I worked on the list of Crazy Quilt Artists some more today so be sure to check out the Crazy Quilting Resources tab at the top of my blog.  Follow the links for beautiful CQ eye candy!  Next week I'll be working on the Crazy Quilt Supply Resources.  If I'm missing anyone, just email me your name and link and I'll gladly add you to the list.

For now, I have my latest batch of Seasonal Door Hangers to share:

All are available in my Etsy shop.

Well, I've been sitting here at the computer for 6 hours so I'm off to make some dinner and watch the Cubs game.

Crazy Quilt Artists

I've spent the last couple of hours working on my list of Crazy Quilt Artists under the Crazy Quilting Resources tab at the top of my blog.  If you are a crazy quilter with a blog or photo site, please email me with your name and link and I will gladly add you to the list.

Also, if you know of any crazy quilter sites, again, email the name and link to me!!!

Thanks to Kathy Shaw, I've decided to add a few more categories to the list.  Along with CQ Artists, Supplies, Tutorials and CQ Work for Purchase, there will also be a list of classes/teachers both online and offline, CQ Books, CQ Inspiration and CQ Stitching Groups.

I'll add these as I can.  I plan to create the most comprehensive Crazy Quilt Resource list available online!

In other news, here's a little update on my Halloween Pillow Block:

I hand painted the lace pieces this morning.  I still have to sew them down which I'll do when I turn the computer off.

In the meantime, check out those websites everyone!  Eye candy galore!!!

Crazy Quilting Resources

I am putting together lists of Crazy Quilt Resources.  I thought everyone would find this helpful.  The lists will consist of CQ Artists, CQ Supplies, CQ Tutorials and CQ work for purchase.

I'm starting with CQ Artists.  If you are a Crazy Quilter and you would like me to include you in the list, please email me with your name and website address, be it a blog or Flickr or Facebook page.  If you've already posted this info on my Facebook page, no need to post it again here.

I'll started posting the list under the tab CRAZY QUILTING RESOURCES at the top of my blog during the week.

In the meantime, I'm finishing up my last batch of door hangers so I'll have photos of those in the next day or so.  For now, this Halloween Pillow block is my current project:

I still have to paint my lace pieces but I wanted to get some of the stitching on it first before I choose the colors for the lace.  I've always loved this little Victorian design.  You know me and cats.  And I adore black cats!

Christmas Blocks

I've been stitching on some small blocks that I found in my drawer of ready to stitch on things.  I can't for the life of me remember when I sewed these up but I thought they would be perfect for Christmas. 

I finished this one early this morning:

And then I started stitching on this block:

The poinsettia is from a vintage hankie that I used part of last year on a purse.  I'll be making another purse with part of it this year.  I had 2 of the poinsettia's left over.

As you can see, I didn't quite get the border finished but I'll work on this more later.

I know it seems early to be working on Fall and Christmas things but since these will go in the shop, I might as well start now.

I've been working in the yard a little, in between the thunderstorms!  It doesn't look like much this year because we've had so much rain but I try to keep things neat and keep the weeds down.  I have a pair of Mallard Ducks that come everyday for the birdseed.  I've been trying to get a photo of them.  They're so pretty and they're used to me now so they don't fly away when they see me!  As soon as I can get a picture of them, I'll post it here.

And, I finished up my little Santa Door Hanger:

I'm running low on snowflake buttons.  I need to get up to JoAnn's or Michaels or Hobby Lobby one of these days!

I started on another little Christmas door hanger:

I have a cute little snowman button for this one.  And some pretty little pine trees.

I guess that's my news for now.  Nothing terribly exciting going on at the moment.
