Invitations are out!

Invitations for the Victorian Stitchery Retreat have gone out!  This year we mailed out over 200 invitations, so it took awhile!  Thank you Dixie for your help!  If you don't get one in the next few days and would like one, please let me know.

Now for an MCC update!  Here is the block we did for March....I love the embroidered daffodil in the corner!

Here is December....You may remember the tree tutorial I did in December.  It is in the upper right hand corner of this block.

And here is February...very sweet with all its pink and red.

Talk to you later,

Happy Valentine's Day!

Crazy Quilt Heart Progress

I finished up my crazy quilt heart and I made it in a purse! The heart on the front of the purse is also a pocket. My favorite color is pink, but lately I have been choosing to work in purples and lavendars.

I hand dyed the lace to match my purse and I really do like it! In the next few days I'll give you an MCC crazy quilt update.

MCC Crazy Quilt Update

I received these blocks in the mail today and this is some serious eye candy! The pictures don't even begin to do just to these blocks. As you can probably tell, this is the November block.


Here is the May block and someone may(ha!) have to arm wrestle this one from me!


And then there is July, I totally love the spider! So creative!

I am so blessed to be able to work with such talented crazy quilter's and am so glad they are willing to do their best work to give to charity....

Crazy Quilt Bedspread Update

I made a little time in the last week or so to work some more on my crazy quilt bedspread. I am really pleased with the results!

Now I only have the border that goes around the bottom edge to do!

A Crazy Quilt Heart

This fall when I hosted the Victorian Stitchery Retreat, I met Allie Aller for the first time. We both admire Carole Sample's and her work and we were inspired by the lecture she gave. We then decided to make a challenge! We would use the same pattern and see the different results we would each get. Our styles are so different!


It was an interesting piecing experience that I really enjoyed!


I have started to do the embellishing and hope to have it done in a couple of days. I would invite you to check out Allie's blog to see what she has done with the same pattern, it is amazing!

Please note:  This is a pattern by Carole Samples and used by permission!  Please don't reproduce this pattern without permission...Thank you!
