Work in Progress Wednesday


I am working on a six inch block for the The Canadian Sesquicentennial Quilt  I suspect there will be many beautiful blocks submitted.  Mine is rather simple.  I plan to fill the leaf shape with stitching and beads.  I love my country and really want to be a part of this quilt project to honour Canada!

    The Canadian flag is instantly recognizable and one of the first children learn. Red on white is striking and your maple leaf will be a stunner with beads and glittery things.

    Your maple leaf is going to be a beautiful addition to the quilt. I can't wait to see the other embellishments you add to it.

    Thanks so much for linking up to last week's Stitchery Link Party and for the link back! Aloha hugs.

   I am glad that  LeeAnna  asks these questions.  It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream?  Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home.  Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain.  Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us.  We also got hand-me-downs.  We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season.  I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me.  I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes!  Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend.  Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home.  There were 30 of us all told.  14 of which were under the age of 16.  It is lovely to get caught...

 I started this collage-style fish this week.  Such a fun little project.  I have no purpose for this fish at the moment but I do love an underwater theme.  I love working with bright colours as well as blues and greens.  I am sure I will find a fun home for this fish eventually.   I am excited to start adding beads and sequins but there is more embroidery to be done first.  Plus, that tail needs some work.  I think I have some funky yarn that will work nicely.  Oh, how I love to embellish!

 How did it get to be December!  I really meant to fill in the big gaps in my November slice!  I still might.  We will see how it goes.  I got a lot of other stitching done in November so I guess that distracted me from this project.  There is only one slice left to stitch on this project and I find myself jumping ahead to next year. I wonder if I want to do another monthly project like this for next year.  I like having a monthly project.  I might consider doing a mixed-media instead of stitching.  Not that I couldn't incorporate some stitching into that though.  I have no clear idea at this point and that's okay.  I have to get through the holidays!   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
