Sues and a Crazy block

This is the Febuary Sunbonnet Sue block I made for my QATW Group. It is going to Veronica. I hope she like her Lovers.


This crazy quilting block is for the international newbies group. It is Suzanne's block and is just beautiful
I added the pale pink Cameo, the bit of pink lace, the rose dragonfly, and the beads on the darker lace. Also it doesn't show up in the picture but I added Bullions to the centers of the 4 large roses.

more yellows.

This is Dalette's block of the Yellows for the Crazy Quilting for Newbies group on yahoo. I was the 2nd person to work on the block. It has 2 more people to go before it goes home to Dalette. I made her a flock of butterflies in the bottom corner patch. Above that I made a couple of button flowers. I also made the lace and button butterfly. There are 2 seam treatments that I worked on. One is under the button flowers and the other one is the one that had the gold dragon fly across it.

This next block belongs to Angela in the yellows swap. It is going home to her.
I was the last person to work on it. I made her some button flowers. and then filled the gold patch ( below the shiney one) with yellow french knots. I also did the feather/bead seam on the left and the half wheel button hole stitch at the bottom ( it doesn'd show up good in the picture.)

This block is Tami's block. It will be going to Hideko in Japan. It is from the Crazy Quilting International group. I was the 2nd person that worked on this block. I made a climbing rose bush in the bright pink patch. There is a beaded Rose ( looks white in the picture) in the bottom left corner. Above the rose I made a woven ribbon seam treatment. Above that on the teal patch I put a bit of white lace. I beaded some of that with pink beads. Another seam treatment that is not showing up good is a fan one that has pink beads in the centers.

greens and yellows

Hi all
Here is the yellow rose bush that I made on the side of Thelma's block in my crazy quilting international group. I also did the orange and green seam treatement on her block as well. On the bottom corner I did a ribbon rose in yellow to go with the yellow rose bush. I also made a blanket stitch seam treatment with some french knots on the tops of some of the posts .

This is a not soo good picture of Diane's block in my newbie's group. We are doing a study all in yellows. The picture is not good but I made a little set of flowers in gold thread and with yellow buttons. I also did the top corner all in shiny gold thread. I hope she likes what I did.


This next block is Lynn's block in the newbies goup. Again a study in Yellows. I made the yellow motif. I also did a couple of seam treatments and beaded them.
Also I had a beautiful gold butterfly that I had and it looked soo cute on the corner with the motif soo I thought I would add it.
Guess what... Hubby is coming home next month for a few days!!!!!! I am soo excited.

Yellow RR Blocks

This block belongs to Kathleen in the UK. She did the wonderful flowers on the right side. I thought and thought put the lace on the left side on the gold block.


Then on Kathleen's block I made her huge K and then put 3 ribbon roses on the side of the K.. I hope she likes it .



This next block belongs to Chris in Billings MT. She had the cute bow in the center. I added the vine/flowers on the right side. Also the gold rickrack.
Then in one corner I added a ribbon rose with a few ribbon rose buds. Cris... I hope you like what I have done. OOoh I also added the beaded seam treatment above the ribbon rose.

Now for this . This is a crochet block collection that I had from a swap that I did a long time ago. I attatched the blocks with white and then connected them with dark blue. It turned out bigger then I thought. I am thinking of maybe giving it to one of my Kids for Christmas... Maybe. On my Ribbon basket that I showed on a earlier post. Well it was not what the judges wanted... BUT I got a Honorable Mention for another Crazy Piece that I had put in. I was happy to get it. It was a shock but I thought it was great.
