November crazy quilt project

Image
I am excited to see this quilt coming together.  Only one more month left for this project!  Wow!  I just don't know where the year has gone.  I have registered for the 2013 crazy quilt project.  I plan to work on 12 x 12 square blocks next year.  I thought I was being clever working on the heart shape this year but I found it to be a bit difficult at times.

A sweet friend gave me this pencil case kit.  It came uncolored with some fabric markers to use.  I guess she recognized that this fifty year old had a little girl inside her waiting to play.  Plus it had glitter on it and anyone who knows me know I love glitter!  I really enjoyed coloring inside the lines and look forward to using the pencil case!

Work in Progress Wednesday

Thanks to Sharon B at http://pintangle.com for hosting this work in progress.  Having a deadline really works for me!  I added the purple braided ribbon to this.  Another step closer to finishing this block!

Another dimensional stitch that I love!  I think I like it even better than stitch from last week.  I especially like that the stitches were very similar and therefore how to do them is cemented in my mind.

Crazy quilt journal project for October

I seem to be running just a few days late.  The end is in sight for this project though!  It is exciting to think of all these blocks put together into a quilt! 

Work in progress Wednesday a day late

I had such a busy day yesterday that I didn't get this posted.  I added the little red flower, lower middle.  I also added the lace.  This block is coming along nicely, I think!  Thanks to Sharon B who hosts this work in progress. http://pintangle.com

This is a new stitch to me.  Another one that I really like.  I love the dimensional stitches!  It is a bit fiddly but worth it.  I had a really hard time getting a decent image of my work.  This is a good as it gets.
