Off the Embroidery Machine

I haven't been lazy. I just didn't post the photos and details.

I made 12 burp cloths and a special bib for a baby shower for a friend's daughter. Her theme was bumble bee. The embroidery designs came from the Embroidery Library.

Crazy Quilt Journal Project - Block 4

30 days seem to race by very quickly.  It's the beginning of the month and the next thing I know it's the end of the month.  

As usual, the block isn't completely done. There is more I could add but ideas are just not coming to mind.  

I'm a bit disappointed with the transfer pencil I used for the center embroidery.  It didn't transfer as clean as I had expected and there's a light red shadow under my stitches.

Block 3 is as complete as it's going to be for now.  I haven't decided what I'm going to do with the purple or green areas yet so I will move on.  

I hand dyed the applique that's sewn on the red fabric.

Crazy Quilt Journal Project - Block 2

Here is February's block.  I had it finished in time but didn't get it posted in time.  Changing cell phones doesn't help. 

I'll probably add more to this block at a later date when I decide what it is I want to add to it.

I found some gathered lace with button centers in the scrapbook section of Hobby Lobby.  I like how the placement looks like a terrier's face.
