Princess Bubbles Creates

So I haven't give up on this block.  I added some buttons and trims.  I am liking it better.  I think the square of lace in the upper middle was too distracting so I still need to stitch the trims on top it, they are just pinned on right now.  Possibly it will be done once I do that.

Again, another new stitch for me.  Definitely not difficult though.  Love it!  I will definitely use this again, I am sure many times.  I worked this in DMC cotton on my May CQ block.  I think this block is done now and will post a photo of the whole block in the next couple of days.  Thanks to Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/

This guy has some great ideas!  I love that he embraced the 'what if' scenario that many of us let stop us.

In the last couple of weeks I have found these gorgeous table clothes and one table runner.  Oh they are pretty!  I really don't need these for decorating purposes in my home so I will probably cut them up to use in projects.  That feels a bit bad though as they are in perfect shape.

I taught a class on making fabric beads to a wonderful group of ladies yesterday!  So fun!  I love it when students have an open mind and want to play!  I have had a couple of people ask me to teach this in my home studio since they couldn't make it yesterday.  I will likely do that in July.

This is the last block that I need to finish for a my quilt.  I am a bit stumped with it.  I added another piece of fabric in the upper right corner.  That has helped some but there is still something I don't like about it.  I guess I kind of know what it is but that means picking off some elements.  I am hesitant to that but ultimately I know I will be happier if I do.

Another new stitch for me.  I thought it looked fairly easy so I went directly to a crazy quilt block.  The stitches look a bit messy now that I see them in the photo.  They didn't look that bad when I was doing.  Still I know with practice I will get better.  And it is not like they are ruining the block so I won't be picking them out.  I guess others would but....
