Crazy quilting and Yarn Bowls

I've actually managed to find some time to get some stitching done.  Yay!!  I suffer horribly from withdrawal if I don't get to pick up a needle every day.  Perhaps I'm addicted (I suppose there are worse things).

See?


Above is a beaded seam treatment
done using waste canvas,
and below are three simple
commercial flowers (from a piece of trim actually)
surrounded by french knots and held down with
some cute little flower buttons.

For the yarn bowl part of this post...
I purchased this lovely handmade pottery yarn bowl
a couple of years ago (for the life of me I can't remember 
who the artist is/was....if it was you, please let me know so I
can credit you!).

  3. I just love your crazy quilting and the special details you add here and there. Having never heard of a yarn bowl i admired yours then went over and had a look at the simple DIY one - very easy to manage. I usually use a tall glass vase that the yarn cannot jump out of but this idea looked very convenient.
    cheers and when you visit mine you'll see that i took your warnings seriously.
