This week I have made quite a bit of
progress hand embroidering the Black Cauldron block I imgaine all the
straight lines made things progress faster and while stitching the
roof yesterday I could feel my stitching slow down some.

If you are like me and many other
needleworkers you problaby have more than one or two projects going
at the same time, perhaps during a giving day set aside for stitching
you even switch projects every few hours to make some progress on
each or like me sometimes you just need a change when working with
one color thread.
For me this week its preparing to
embellish some crazy quilt hearts so I am rummaging around in my
beads, buttons, ribbons, lace and trims stash for just the right
pieces. I don't really have a set plan for embellishing the hearts
I'm just going to see what I have and start hand stiching it on.

While going through one of my stash
bins yesterday I found an earlier piece of hand embroidery,

| small pillow cover |
a true
vintage piece hand embroidered by me years ago before I put floss and
needles aside for other pursuits only to rediscover how much I love
embroidery decades later.

stitching too. click the link and enjoy and maybe you will want to join in too.
So you have been a talented embroiderer for many years. That pillowcase is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely pillowcase! I love your Black Cauldron block. And, as crazy quilting is one of my favorite passions and I love hearts, I cannot wait to see your next updated on that project!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I love your pink crazy heart.... and the pillowcase... so pretty! Christine x
ReplyDeleteLove the heart, looking forward to seeing the stitching and beads! The vintage lady is very pretty. I see some progress on the Cross stitch.
ReplyDeleteJust love those vintage ladies. It must have been a thrill to rediscover your earlier stitching after it had been tucked away for so long.
ReplyDeleteThe black cauldron stitching looks very interesting and the pink heart pretty now before embellishment. I embroidered a pillow case for my granddaughter with one of those vintage lady designs.
ReplyDeleteThose vintage Ladies are so pretty. I have just got into crazy quilting. I haven't made anything yet, but reading about it.
