Princess Bubbles Creates

The table cloth with the blue hand embroidery is so gorgeous!  It is almost too good to cut up but I don't have a round table to use it on.  The bracelets I will definitely take apart to use the beads.  Oh how I wish I had the time today to stitch!

This is the my May crazy quilt block.  I love that I am working ahead now!  I started the year off kind of slow but I have it in gear now.  There is still plenty to do though.

Another new stitch to me.  I really like this stitch a lot.  I will definitely be adding it to future crazy quilt blocks.  My tension certainly needs work but that will come with practice. Thanks to Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/  for the instructions.

Today I plan to take my Mom to the opening reception for the Grand National even though I don't have any work in that show.  I am curious to see what is there!  Saturday April 27 I will be attending the opening at the Button Factory.  I have two pieces in that show.  I hope to see many friends there!

I have fallen into a rut, I mean pattern.  Posting about my thrift store finds is kind of fun for me!  These particular finds all work quite well together and I look forward to creating something beautiful with them!

I added a bit more stitching and some pearl beads.  I think I will call my April block finished.  I can always go back and add something later should I decide to do that.

Love this stitch!  I stitched directly to a cq block even though it was the first time trying this stitch.  It looked easy to do and reminded me of making that children's craft called a gods eye.  I made loads of them when I was a child.  I also added the woven detached chain stitch.  I need to finish adding that stitch to the rest of the flowers.  Thanks to Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/  for all the instructions!
