Delightful days

Yesterday I had the pleasure to spend time with a lovely friend.  We went to see the Higher Ground exhibit done by the Connections fibre art group  http://www.connectionsfibreartists.com/  at the Guelph Civic Museum.  It was an enjoyable show. After the show we did a little shopping and then came back to my home to create.  We experimented with wrapping wire with fabric, thread, yarn and beads.  It was relaxing and fun to chatter as we created.  I think the wrapped wire has a lot of potential.  I can see myself stitching it on to a piece tightly coiled or in a loose spiral.

Oh my gosh!  When I came across the glitter tape pictured above I felt like a kid in a candy store!  How fun it is to get all these beautiful colors in one package.  You know I have to have all the colors!  I have already used in it my art journal, bottom picture.  Love it!

Work in progress Wednesday

I believe my July crazy quilt block is finished.  I added some pink stitchingdown the left side and little flowers across the top.  Possibly more stitching could be added but I will wait until I have all the blocks put together and decide then.  I am linking with   http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/ and http://pintangle.com/

Take a stitch Tuesday Woven zig zag chain

Love this stitch!  I really like woven stitches.  They are just cool.  I added a row of them to my July crazy quilt block.  I also plant to add some sequins so that they look like flowers. Thanks to Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/  for the instructions.

I had fun creating this page.  It combines some paper cutting with zentangles.  Life has been busy with fun things so I count myself blessed but I have been neglecting my poor little blog.

I am making some progress on my July crazy quilt block.  I have added the stitching in blue, which I admit is pretty difficult to see in this photo.  I have also added the dangly bead/charms. I am participating in the work at progress at the following blogs. Who knew there were so many! http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/ pintangle.com

Take a stitch Tuesday

The zig zag chain stitch is a stitch that I have done previously.  It is simple and I really like it.  I added it to my July crazy quilt block pictured above.  I think rows and rows of it would look very cool but I didn't have the space to that on this block.  Maybe another time. Thanks to Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/   for the instructions.
