More Crazy Quilt Trinket Blocks

 I stitched up a two more Crazy Quilt Trinket blocks.  I think I'm up to 42 blocks now!

 

This one has an Autumn theme.  The leaves in the very center are a brooch that I found over the Summer at an estate sale for I think, 50 cents!

This is a crazy quilt on a crazy quilt!  The tiny little framed piece was made by my sweet friend Pat Winter.  I bought it from her a few years ago.  It's a pendant but I don't wear much jewelry anymore so I decided to use it on this quilt.  No one on the planet can make tinier stitches than pat!

The silver leaves are a vintage brooch that my long time dear friend Danielle gave me for my birthday back in the 80's.  Danielle and I share the same birthday, Christmas Eve.

The colors in both pieces are brighter than they look here.  I'm needing a new digital camera so for now, I'm using my cellphone to take photos.

Poinsettia Biscornu Ornament

I started one of my Poinsettia Biscornu Ornaments before Christmas but put it down for a week or so.  I finished it up this morning:

 

I love stitching those satin stitch poinsettias!  The Kreinik gold is really glittery but doesn't show well in this photo.

Crazy Quilt Trinket Block

I pieced another block for the McHenry Landmark Crazy Quilt but I haven't started stitching on it yet.  Instead, I felt like playing with some glittery beads and sequins.  I wish the sparkle showed up better!

 

You might remember, I started a Trinket Quilt a few years ago.  I had all sorts of little things that I've been saving all my life and thought it would be a nice way to display them.

The little Bluebird on this block is a Mill Hill beaded pin that I made for my aunt years ago.  After she passed away, my cousin gave back to me the things that I made for my aunt.  So I have more of those little Mill Hill pins to include on this quilt.

These blocks are 6 inches square.  I have no idea how many blocks there will be because I have a lot of things to use.

Many of the blocks can be seen in my book Crazy Quilt Inspiration.

When I have a some time, I'll put a JPEG together with all the blocks I have so far.  I think there's 40 something now.
