I have made some progress on the hand
embroidery for Hocuspocusville Quilt block 10.
 |
| block 10 started |
On Wednesday the 21st I
attended the first Hand Embroidery class at Tomorrow' Treasures quilt
shop we are making the Christmas Tree Skirt from Gail Pan's book
Christmas Patchwork Loves Embroidery. I believe there are 12 of us
in the class and we will meet on the third Wednesdays in October and
November.
These are the hand embroidery blocks for the tree skirt, we traced them onto fabric in class or at home. Some of my traced pieces waiting to be hand embroidered.

I will work on the the tree skirt blocks today, there are 12 small blocks to be hand embroidered, lots of letters.
These are the fabrics I chose for the tree skirt. and two back up fabrics just in case, I have been known to change my mind, there are a few other projects in the book I want to make so I can use them.

I bought this sweet little pattern of
the phases of the moon from Etsy, the shop is Cozy Blue a sweet
little shop with patterns and kits available with a nice selection of
original patterns. Here's the link

I had the echocardiogram on Tuesday and
will have the results at my next appointment in October unless
something irregular shows up when the cardiologist reads the results.
This is routine since I have been experience quite a few bouts of
shortness of breath and being a heart attack patient I suppose the
doctor has to cover all bases. I don't worry since the morning of
the day I had my heart attack I had a complete physical including an
EKG and everything was fine then 12 hours later I had the heart
attack. I find these test more a nuisance and an unnecessary expense,
but what do I know. On the up side my blood pressure hasn't done its
spiking thing in a long while.

the tree skirt sounds very interesting- I can't wait to see it around your tree.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm going to make it a table topper instead of a tree skirt
DeleteYou are making great progress on Hocuspocusville! Will you be done in time? I see you have lots to keep you busy. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, It won't be done for this Halloween perhaps next year.
DeleteVery pretty projects! That moon blossom looks very cool, thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteThank you and you're welcome.
DeleteI love this block for Hocuspocusville! The ghost, spider web and boots on the clothes line are just too fun. Your tree skirt will be lovely! You have some great projects going. :) Best wishes on your results in October.
ReplyDeleteDeborah,
ReplyDeleteI love the Phases of the Moon embroidery project. Your stitches look lovely. I also like the Gail Pan project very much. I'm not much for Halloween but all your work is very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Good luck with the EKG results. The body does what it wants, and I've come to believe we can make better choices, but still have no control over anything. =) I love your phases of the moon project, and the Gail Pan looks great. I'd love to find a group of 12 people who want to embroider together! You've been making pretty steady progress on Hocuspocusville.
ReplyDeleteI love that ghostly clothesline in the HocusPocus block!
ReplyDeleteThe tree skirt is going to be sooo pretty. What line of fabric are the holly fabrics from? I've been looking for fabric with holly on it and those are lovely.
Thanks so much for linking up to last week's Stitchery Link Party and for the link back. Aloha hugs!
