Stitching, but not showing (for now)

 I've been working at the embroidery on the landscape but alas the part I'm working on isn't quite ready to be unveiled just yet.  While casting about for something I could show you today I remembered that I hadn't shared the finish of the second crochet fusion quilt, so here it is...


I flipped one corner up so you could see the back.  

- THIS made me laugh!

- And I found THIS quite intriguing.  While you're there, have a peek through her pages of tutorials for all sorts of things, beginning HERE

- You might enjoy a peek through the galleries HERE.

Today the quote is a Tibetan proverb..."The secret to living well and longer is:  eat half, walk double, laugh triple and love without measure"

  1. Your crochet fusion piece is really pretty--nice as unlike quilts--no binding necessary;;) hugs, Julierose

    1. No binding, but it needed to be blocked. Don't know which is worse!

    Sherry of createology: Good Morning MA. Your crochet fusion quilt is lovely. I really like the combination of crochet and fabric together. I am imagining a vest done in long vertical strips. If only I was Tibetan maybe I wouldn’t be so fluffy!

    1. You're right - the technique would be perfect for a long vest wouldn't it.

    1. If I had a reason to make birthday cakes I'd definitely want to use that topper.
      I like those placemats too and wouldn't mind a set (if I actually USED placemats that is!)

    1. Art quilting is obviously my passion and I'm afraid my links often reflect that.

  5. I really like the crochet fusion quilt. I expect it very manageable and drapy.

    1. It should keep her warm over the winter months. If I hadn't already made an afghan for us I'd be tempted to make another one.

  7. What a lovey quilt. I sure turned out nicely. I make refrigerator pickles all the time. We call them bucket pickles here. New batch is in the fridge downstairs.

    God bless.

    1. The green although it's hard to tell in the picture, is picked up from some of the green in the floral print.
