So I am a tad late reporting for March for Opam , sorry Kris. I had seven finishes all of which I spoke about here . They included two tea towels , a mug rug , banner , pillow and wall hanging . I have been busy since then but no finishes.
I just completed task #7 for my crazy quilt block. My lack of threads makes it a tad challenging to get the look I wish to have. I have tons of DMC floss but I don't care for the look it creates on this block although I have used some . I am pleased how it is coming along , I even added a few beads today , have to say I am not a bead person , I prefer things plain but I am here to learn so I will do as the teacher says lol .
. So I am plugging along with this as well as my BOM Quilt, making progress slowly but surely there .
That's all my news for now , thanks so much for stopping by today, sure loved seeing you .
Hugs Sheila
Lots more stitching on your crazy quilt block since last week......well done!
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila I am loving your block it is going to look fantastic,I love the beads on it .
ReplyDeleteYour delphiniums turned out beautifully along the seam. I was not sure about beading either but I kept the beads simple and not too blingy so that they just added texture. I agree about the DMC threads too. I love to use size #8 perle threads. Great progress since your last photos.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Good luck with the vine!
ReplyDeleteYour block is building nicely Sheila. Yes, you do need a variety of threads for this sort of work to give it interest - love the beads. xx
ReplyDeleteYour crazy block is looking lovely Sheila! It is well worth following along with the lessons there is such a wealth of knowledge to be gained! I know I loved learning the differing techniques and stitches! Have fun! Christine x

ReplyDeleteVery pretty Sheila. I love beads but always struggle with adding them to things as I can't figure out how to make them look good. I think the ones you have added look great.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!! You make it look easy, Sheila
