I have been a teensy bit busy creating. I am working on some redwork for our guild's quilt show in October. We want to have a section devoted to red and white quilts so I decided to do some redwork. I've also quilted a small wall hanging from a panel of fabric I bought at the Quilt and Sewing Expo last year. And, I've even made some maple leaf blocks for a quilt that a group of people are making to be raffled....
Lately I've been trying to work on cleaning/organizing my craft room. I'm not getting very far though so I've been avoiding my craft room! I did work in it for about 3 hours yesterday. I managed to clean out a drawer - I swear it was a bottomless drawer because I kept pulling stuff out and pulling stuff out but finally I got it emptied, went thru stuff that was in there from 2000!!!!!! Now it holds my journal which I don't write in very often (probably because I couldn't find it), my coloring book and coloring pencils and pencil sharpener. Wonder how long it will stay that way! Ha!
This is the quilt I quilted from a panel I bought at the Sewing and Quilt expo last year. I was playing around with different thimbles so I'm not really happy about the hand quilting I did. This is hanging in my kitchen.
This is one of the redworks I have finished stitching. I am planning on adding small beads for the buttons and some of the snowflake ends. Three down, six more to go before I can create a quilt top.
This is what is in my hoop right now. Little House Needleworks - Small Sheep Virtue - Friendship. It went fast and I was in the mood to do something that I could finish in a couple of days. I need to finish the stitching then decide if I want to frame it, make it into a pillow or what.
My two maple leaves.
I hope you all are doing well.
Happy Easter!
