Ongoing Handwork Project
 

Feeling a little slow today (just getting over bronchitis) so I though I would just take it easy, watch movies, and work on my ongoing handwork - a crazy quilt. As I was gathering up to get comfy in my chair I thought I would share pics of the work so far. I am a beginner at embroidery, mom is the expert and is slowly teaching me. I'm pleased how it is turning out so far.

Lovely. I love embroidery and use to do so much by hand. Cross stitch took over my obsession and then I bought an embroidery machine. Now I only do hand work when I am camping. Keep up the great job and thank your mom for sharing her talent with you!

I have always wanted to do a crazy quilt just never had the time. Yours is going to be gorgeous when finished, very nice so far. Thank you for sharing and thanks to your mom for getting you started on it.

Thanks for sharing your Crazy Quilt with us,,, I have one to finsh, My mom gave me one that she started when My Dad was in the hospital with cancer. She even gave me the different fabrics to use to finish it. After Dad Died, she just couldn't pick it up again. So she is letting me finsh it, Thanks for giving me the small push to finish it while she is still with us, to help with the different stitches...

Girl if you are a beginner and do work like this then your Mothers work must be awesome. You are well on your way to being awesome also. BrendaK

Lovely, lovely. The beautiful stitches show up so well on the shiny fabric. Your work is stunning. Keep up the good work.

Just Lovely! This is going to be a wonderful quilt when completed.

Wow! You did a beautiful job. That is just beautiful!

Question: Do you draw the emb. Design then hand emb? And the stitching around each piece is hand done too? What is your background taffeta or silk?

Wow beautful quilt.

I've been embroidering since I was a little girl, and now I'm a much, much older little girl. You'd give me a run for my money - you're wonderful at embroidery!!!!! You're quilt is excellent, very fine! And spending this time with your Mom - priceless.......

I'm doing my first attempt at Crazy Quilting --- yours is Fab!

It's looking fabulous!!

how beautiful, thanks for sharing.

For goodness sakes - keep at it, you have a natural talent

I definitely agree with BrendaK, your work is beautiful!

It is going to be a fabulous quilt when you finish it. Your Mom is doing a spectacular job of teaching you to do embroidery work. I still have fond memories of my Mom teaching me embroidery when I was 6. You will always treasure your time together.

Absolutely beautiful!!!

Pleased? you should be very proud it is gorgeous, mom is a good teacher.

Very sweet

very nice work & beautiful quilt!!

It is going to be beautiful when finished, you have done a great job on it.

Some things I draw on first as I still need lines to follow. Yes the stitching around each piece is also by hand, right now to me that is the easiest to do. I used whatever shiny fabric I could find, I know it's not silk, can't afford that.
