I've wanted to join
Lit and Laundry for Finished for Friday for the past year and I've finally made it! I finished the crazy quilt pillow last night and will send it off today.
I'm really pleased with how it came out. I added more embroidery from when I showed the blocks a few days ago including this cute Kate Greenway design of a little girl sitting on a fence. I also added quite a few little silk ribbon flowers-they sew up so quickly. ( I accidently put the flowers upside down from the orientation of the girl :) but hey, its a
crazy quilt! )
I also added some hand sewn french knots on some of the machine embroidered seams (the red embroidery in this pix) and on one plain machine zig zag seam, I added some lazy daisy stitches (the top little bit of white-look close :). Adding a little hand work to the machine stitches makes them a bit different from each other and adds to the variety-to me the whole goal of a crazy quilt-lots and lots of variation.
To check out the other Friday finishes, hop on over to
Lit and Laundry...you'll like what you see (and its not all sewing either!)
