I really enjoy learning new stitches.  I decided I could look around and find some other stitch tutorials.  Mary Corbet at  http://www.needlenthread.com/2012/02/stitch-play-chain-stitch-spider-daisy.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+needlenthread+(Needle%27nThread.com)&utm_content=Google+Reader   has some really good instructions.

Longing for spring and summer.  This photo cheers my soul.  So bright and vibrant.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

I have worked on this one on and off for a while.  It has loads of stitching.  I actually removed a little of the stitching from the large circle in the lower left.  I think it is more interesting that way.  I am submitting this piece for a show tomorrow.  I would be very exciting to have it accepted.

My crazy quilt block for the month of March is taking shape.   I have about half of the seams stitched.  I have a bead journal ready to go into the center.  I am aiming for a summery feeling for this block.   I am linking with http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/

Today I received an email telling me I have been nominated for a KW Arts award in the Textile art/quilting category.  I am so very excited to have been nominated!  I have a ton of paperwork to do for the process but it should be fun.  I look forward to the ceremony in June.

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

Since I have a lovely new sewing machine that has oodles of different stitches I thought I should try out some of them.  Stitching on a layer of paper with a couple layers of sheer fabric has a lot of potential.
