Yellow on yellow

In one of my Groups I am in a Color Study RR. These 2 blocks are mine that are headed out. This 1st one is for the "sweet Corn" Group. I did the center on my Little Embroidery machine . I added some Gold and yellow buttons and a Bit of yellow lace. It now is headed to Angela in Danville NH. I wonder what she will add.
The block is for the "Yellow Apples" group. I again did the Butterfly on my Embroidery machine. It looks like silver thread that I have added to a seam but it is really a shiny Gold. Those beads with the faces, I have had those for a long time and just had to put them on this piece. This is now headed to Peggy in Oxford FL. It will be really interesting to see how these blocks will turn out.

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.

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.
