Take a Stitch Tuesday

Image
I enjoy doing the buttonhole stitch.  I had a family wedding to attend this past weekend and used the drive there to stitch this.  It took about two hours to go all the way around this butterfly.  I used numerous colors of hand dyed thread.  There still a lot of stitching to be done on this including some beading.   https://www.facebook.com/groups/128698983911229/?fref=nf  or http://pintangle.com/2015/07/21/tuesday-take-a-stitch-challenge/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Pintanglecom+%28pintangle.com%29

I count myself really blessed that I have a camera and the time to use it!  Spending time amongst the flowers is so delightful. I am linking with http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca/ and http://flowersfromtoday.blogspot.ca/ and http://nawik.blogspot.ca/2015/07/small-monday-11.html

July Bead Journal

Image
This is hand painted silk.  I adhered it to fusible interfacing, machine stitched it and then cut out the holes.  Each hole is bead encrusted around the edge.  I am wondering if I should add some more bead circles or some hand embroidery?  hmmm I am linking with http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/# http://www.supermomnocape.com/

Work in Progress Wednesday

Starting on my July CQ project a little late.  Oh well, not the end of the world.  I am excited to be trying something new and different for this month.  I am incorporating a bead journal from a couple of years back.  That in itself isn't new.  The fact that the bead journal was done on a paper is the new bit.

Take a stitch Tuesday

Yay!  Sharon is repeating Take a Stitch Tuesday.  We have started with the fly stitch which was perfect to add to this piece.  I have probably stitched a thousand of these stitches in all my years of stitching.  It is such a good stitch to use. http://pintangle.com/2015/07/14/it-is-tuesday-time-to-stitch/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Pintanglecom+%28pintangle.com%29 https://www.facebook.com/groups/128698983911229/

I enjoy looking at things from a different angles.   It is helpful to change our perspective in life and photography.  Seeing new things is always good!

Almost finished

This is my crazy quilt block for June.  Yikes!  I better get moving!  I was thinking it was my July block but I guess I lost a month somehow.  I can't be too hard on myself though.  I have a son getting married tomorrow so there has been a lot of preparations for that.  Once we have finished celebrating I will add some more stitching to the needle felted area.  Hopefully it will looked finished to me at that point.
