Work in progress

This is my Jan. crazy quilt block.  Funny, now that I am looking at the photo of it, I am not as happy with it.  It needs a little more work.  Sometimes I wonder if anything is ever truly finished!

TAST raised Herringbone

Image
Okay, well it is my version of that stitch.  I did not do the padding/satin stitch.  To me it just looked heavy and I didn't want that.  I am sure that it will look good on other stitching.  I struggle with getting the herringbone even.  This is about the closest that I have ever got!  It helped to have the regular pattern in the fabric to use as a guide.  I do like this stitch. Sharon has great instructions at http://pintangle.com/ For some strange reason this didn't post yesterday!  Weird.

I am a winner!

Look at this gorgous table runner I receiver from Leslie at  http://marvelesartstudios.blogspot.ca/     I am thrilled to have a piece of her lovely work!  She is so very talented.  Fun!

work in progress Wednesday

I have added some more stitching, couching and trims.  It is not likely to be finished by tomorrow though.  Oh well, in a couple of days maybe.  There have been a lot of other projects taking up my time.  They have more pressing deadlines so they take precedence.

zentangle

I have been doing a lot of zentangles lately.  I am wanting to do a piece of furniture with zentangle on it.  Actually I have started drawing the chair.  I can't show it just yet though as it for the Habitat for Humanity project.  Fun!

I got an 'oh wow'

Image
from my husband on this.  Pretty cool!  It doesn't happen very often.  This is a zentangle I have done.  I am planning to do a similar  one on a chair I have painted white.  It is for the Habitat for Humanity project I am working on right now.  I am super excited about the project.  I actually started drawing on the chair this morning.  Unfortunately, I must not have had enough coffee as I drew the heart facing the back of the chair!  ugh!!!  Now I have to prime and paint another coat so that the ink doesn't bleed through.  I have to say I was a tad anxious about making 'mistakes' on this piece.  So  now I have made a great big one and must start over.  Oh well.  Maybe that will be the only mistake I make!
