Free Coloring Page

Enjoy the free coloring page I created.  It is my pleasure to share them with you.  I quite enjoy creating them and coloring them.  As always, I would love to see what you do with them.  Lately, my mind has been swirling with ideas of taking them further.

Work in Progress Wednesday

The crazy quilt block I posted about last week was totally uninspired as far as crazy quilting.  I have set it aside and will use it for a base for something else.  The little Barbie dress has also been set aside to hopefully be used in a different CQ block.  Pictured above is my new September CQ block.  Lots of lovely lace!  I have added silk ribbon embroidery and a few beads.  Still more to do but I am feeling more inspired.

I Heart Macro

The petals are reaching upwards!  At least in this photo they appear to be.  It lifts my spirits! I am linking with Today's Flowers http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/

More resurrected work

This fabric and paper collage started earlier this year.  I wasn't super excited about it and it ended up at the bottom of the pile of experiments.  Yesterday I decided to add more fabric and machine stitching to it.  Oh yes, and some transfer foil.  As a piece it is um, not great.  As a background it is far too busy.  What to do?  I am thinking I could cut it up and make greeting cards.  Or cut it up and then do some beading on to it.  Or both!

Here is another coloring page for you to print.  I would love to see what you do with it!  I printed mine on vellum and used Sharpies to color it.

It is the last day of September and I am glad to see it go.  Not a very fun month for me.  I was really stuck on a crazy quilt project for the month but today an idea came to me.  This will be my princess block.  I am using a Barbie dress and some luscious silk and some velvet a friend gave me.  It is always fun to use something that a friend gifted.  Look out, some major bling is coming to this piece.  I have to get my sparkle back!

Take a Stitch Tuesday

Sharon shows how to do the Barred Chain Stitch at  Pintangle   I really like this stitch and think it works quite well with the metallic thread and handmade paper.  I am going to have to remember to do this one on a crazy quilt. I am linking with http://www.supermomnocape.com/
