Stumpwork homework
stumpwork, embroidery techniques and embellishment.
I've got a little bit more to do on the bird's tummy, and a leaf to embroider in a similar way to the golden appliqued pear on the left.
This is my first stumpworked leaf. I have 3 more to do. Who knows? I might have them all done by next lesson.
Am I dreaming? LOL!!

Partridge and pears

I stitched this while I watched the movie "Miracle On 34th Street" - as prescribed by one of my best friends, Rosie.
Watching the movie and stitching this block made me feel like I was getting ready for Christmas...

Now for the cream...
All they need is cream on top (i.e. I will machine quilt this little wallhanging).Still, no rush, that could happen next year! Nahhh. Of course I want to finish it, but I also want to finish off a few other projects.
Last year I finished 28 quilty projects (more if you count each individual journal cover and beaded bracelets and button necklaces).
This year I have 17 finished items on the sidebar so far... now it's a race to see how many I can finish before the end of the year (you know I can't help starting more too)...

Almost there...

I decided not to stay up overly late the other night... I was already too tired.
After all it only means that I get it back one week later... and what's a week in the scheme of things?
I am just so inspired all the time!! I want to start so many new projects!
First, I want to put the binding on my dollhouse quilt, and finish the little Santa piece for the Countdown to Christmas. I am actually writing this post a couple of days before it is published, so I will have the countdown finished for the 1st of December when I put my decorations up at home. YAY!!
Just teething
I've got some more teething to do (it's a sawtooth border - gettit??)...
Then it just needs a quick quilting job, and binding.
I can't wait to hang it up -I am looking forward to decorating my house for Christmas!!Monday, November 30, 2009
Fruits of labour
These fabrics look so juicy!! No wonder I like these so much - these are the colours of my blog. Look at the font and surrounds. LOL!!
