A blog containing my thoughts on every day occurrrences in my life, and my passion/obsession with Crazy quilting; traditional quilting and other forms of embroidery; My ideas for new projects and my completed and yet to be completed ones. I warn you: it won't all be needlework related!

Finished at last!
The landscape fabricated using my Janome Xpression is finally as complete as I can make it.
I've added a little 'foliage' and a few rocks in the lower edge for extra dimension.
Now, it's time to try complete the fabric machine applique version.......

A Collage made of fabric paper,as seen in yesterday's blogging.
A violin and musical notes laid over torn sheet music,and a machine embroidered butterfly

Paper fabric
As I was needing some themed paper fabric for a special project I got to and fabricated some paper fabric today;
The upper pic is themed with sheet music,lavender from a paper serviette and blue & lavender coloured tissue paper.
As the piece is 12 by nearly 30inches, and I only require a piece 6 by 8,I'll have plenty for others---a series,maybe?
The larger lower piece was made to have ready for embellishing when the desire arises.
Apart from these pieces, I frog-stitched the hand quilting on the "Simple shapes
" of a couple of weeks ago and more firmly anchored the shapes with an invisible blind stitch.Now to start quilting again.......if family circumstances allow .
