Wild Flower basket

Hi all

Well I have never put any of my quilts, either "sane" or crazy quilting in a quilt show but I am going to put this piece I made in the show we are having here in Sept.

The theme is " wildflowers". Not the wildflowers that grow but flowers made out of "wild" things. So I tye-Dyed the background a rosy pink. The basket is a Civil war brown that is printed with small flowers. It doesn't show in the picture but on each of the tiny flowers in the basket and handle I have sewn tiny brown seed beads. The flowers are made of Fabric, ribbon, Lace, thread, yarn,YoYo's, Leather ( yes I said Leather), Netting,Beads, dangles, Wood beads, Buttons, Silk Leaves, and Feathers. I hope the Judges like what I have done with their theme.

Been a long time

Here is the purple passion block I worked on last. I did the upper left corner. Again I cannot seem to get pictures to come out good. There are about 6 ribbon butterflies on the bottom half of the square and on the top are some roses. I added a rickrack treatment to finish it off. I think it turned out good

Now for this next block. The Theme
is Summer. And I was to do half the block. ok that was interesting to do. On the top which doesn't show up I did a bullion wrap inch worm!!! then on the Center gold square I crochet a tiny swimming suit. Next on the botton blue and white patch I crochet a bare foot to go with the swimming suit. Then on the pale yellow patch I sewed lots of different colored sead beads so you would have a beach to
walk on... well a pebble beach that is.

And I then toook a deep breathe and tried making a all beaded butterfly. This was only the 2nd time I have tried to do anything all in beads and I love the way it turned out. This is something I will be trying out again at a different time.

Jane's block

Here is Jane's block from Purple Passion. I made a purple flowering plant on the left side of the picture and then I sewed the beads. Next I made a row of chained hearts and inside 3 of the hearts I have purple dragonflies. Jane I hope you like what Idid to your block...

A Ufo finished!!!

Here is my kitty quilt. It is " sane" quilting I know but it is a finished quilt. This makes quilt #3 finished for this year. It reaches from edge to edge on a queen bed. And looking in the left overs I found that I had enough for an other quilt. So another kitty quilt is in the proccess of being done. I have no idea of what size the next one will turn out to be.

This is a crazy quilt block I am working on for a wall hanging. I still have a lot to do but thought that I would post it on here. you can see the work " in progress" in the bottom corner. And I have to get "leaves" on those flowers!! Other wise not sure yet what all I will do.

New Work on Bom's

Here it is... My High hopes Block came home. I just love it. I am not sure when I am going to get it finished but it is for my Hubby one of these days. He can always make me smile when he sings that silly song.

This next block is my attempt at beading again. I am soooo out of my
League with tis but I tried. This time the block belongs to Simona. I made
the blue star flowers. Then I tried to make a orange fan. The tails are dangly. I also around the edges of the block made a beaded edging. ( I know it doesn't show up in the picture). I then added the little orange butterfly.


The next block is Sharon's block. I made the two butterflies. That is a new way for me to make them but I
like it and hope Sharon does too. I added the butterfly charms and the seam treatment doesn't show up good but in the center of the little boxes there are little flowers.


The next block is Jane's from Purple Passion. I did the block with the four flowers. In the center is a set of beads and there are beads in the centers of
the flowers.
Also there is a fan seam treatment with beads and flower petal chain stitch with .... of course purple beads.

Now for a tiny bit on my life. The days are long and hard with out hubby but we are making it thru. My "sane" quilting , crazy quilting and just regular sewing along with knitting, and crocheting help to keep my mind busy. I wish my health would be a little better cause my energy is down but will I hope improve. Heard from Hubby and he is doing good. OOOOH and since I am now home schooling our son, He is making A's and B's for the 1st time since Elem. School!!!! And he is now a freshman. Man alive .. I am wishing I would have done this with my other kids. OOOOh well we live and learn.
