My Creative Space......

I've been working on embroidery. This is a diary of my life starting the first week in Nov, 2oo9. It's on a tea towel. I plan to keep going until the towel is filled. :o)

Made a little progress on my BOM. The Bareroots design, little stitchies. This is the Dec. block.

And I finished the binding on my "camp" quilt. Also a Bareroots pattern. So she is done. Yeah. I love how it turned out.

Embroidery

I received my very sweet and cute embroidery from Aneela of 'comfortstitching'. I was her secret partner for the swap, so I didn't know she had me until I received my embroidery. This was the 'Hand stitched' embroidery swap on Flickr. I think it's just the cutest thing, I am going to hang in in my sewing room.

Here is my next tea towel embroidery finished. She has a 'day of the dead' and kitsch religious them going.
Only 3 more embroidered squares to go, I LOVE this quilt. It is going to be so cute. I picked out the fabric squares and got them cut out. They are 2 X 2. I didn't do any stitching this weekend because we were camping. :o)

I usually take my embroidery camping with me, but this campout was our Thanksgiving campout. Everyone brings food and we have a big feast. So I was cooking to much to stitch.

spider web and campers

I was at my sit and stitch with the girls tonight working on my spider web quilt. I come home and jump on the computer to go blog surfing , I click on Crazy mom Quilts and she has been working on a spider web quilt too!!! She is much farther along on her's then I am on mine though. I can't wait to see her's done.

Here is a new quilt I am starting with my 'Happy Camper' fabric. Wonky star campers!!!

So, here is the binding seletion. I didn't go with the multi color one, it was just too wild for me. I went to buy the same white dots on back , but ended up with a different one, which I think looks good. The binding is sewn to the front, but not stitched to the back yet. I'll be working on that this week. When it's done, I'll take a big 'ol photo of the whole thing.

Here is my 2nd block in the MissyMack BOM . Called 'Stingbark farm" . I can 't wait for the 3rd one to come out. MissyMack hasn't been feeling very good, I hope she is doing much better. Sending out a big ((((((HUG)))))) to her.

I finished 2 stitcherys in the "camping" quilt . The pattern is a "Bareroots" pattern. #99 Camping Quilt and Pattern. I actually stitched the duck while sitting by the campfire camping. The fabric still smells like campfire, one of my favorite smells.

I finished this one at our 'young people's sit and stitch' last night.

I am in a on-line swap quilting group called "sew connected 3". Here are my blocks from all my wonderful swaping group. There are 18 of us. I think ( pretty sure) I will be sashing it in black and backing it with black. It is going to be a picnic quilt for us to go to the park with. :o)

And Basil, my littlest baby thinking he can go down the stairs by himself. He chickened out and didn't do it. It is still a long way down for him. You can see my other chihuahua, Chili, in the back ground.
