Angel Work for CQI

Angel work has finally happened for me, I have been an Angel for CQI for a year or so now, but have not had  to pull on my hallow and help out.   What is an Angel - well we are the ones that step in to take over a stitcher or stitchers in the Round Robin to help out. Occasionally unforeseen circumstances get in the way of us completing a Round Robin, and so Angels step in.
But all of a sudden, and I really don't mind, I got three all at once.  They are beautiful block sets, Winter and Angel (appropriately named), and so I got to work and finish them off as soon as I could, as they have already been held up long enough, due to family crisis's with the stitchers involved.

So here are the blocks I worked on.  First is the winter DYOB, this was from Wendy's set.
And Wendy's Angel DYOB set
And Cathy's Angel DYOB set
I hope the ladies like the work I have stepped in to do.

Really pretty work Arlene. First block is extra nice. And I like the flower beads in the third block, do you remember where they came from?

"Blog Tour" and Embroidery APP Update - With Giveaway

Image
--> Welcome to all you wonderful Blog tour people, and all those in Blogger land. For those regular readers of mine you know my son and I are developing a FREE Embroidery APP.  We have had great progress over the last couple of months with it almost to a testing stage (actually we are just waiting on Apple).  It will initially be for IPhone first off, but we are developing it for Ipad and android devices straight after.  Here are some snap shots from the simulator of our progress, please let us know what you think. --> This is our opening screen, still not so sure about the 'bookcase', and the plain white tabs, still developing this but the tabs work and that's the main thing.   --> The tabs show the four main sections of the app, the stitches, Free projects, paid projects (not in yet) and the Gallery.  You touch the stitches tab and it takes you to the stitches index. ...

Yippeeeeee, it's finally completed - the big reveal - CQJP 2012 - Christmas Tree Skirt

Image
Well G'day everyone. Yes, I have finally finished my beautiful Christmas Tree skirt, and Yes, before Christmas 2012, and do you think I am happy with the result, I'm over the moon, I am thrilled it turned out so well.  So here are my last few steps for completion. The last post on the skirt I had it basted, and ready for the blocks to be added after I had done some hand quilting.  The quilting was done, very little mind you, it really didn't need it. Then the blocks went on and the 12 meters of braid placed, pin and hand stitched down, and each block was finished with a button on the loop join, and the red trim on each block had gold feather stitch added. I then pinned the rest of the gold trim and started stitching it all down, two days later...... What a job, my fingers are aching.... The I cut of the extra wadding, and the red background, pulled out most of the basting (except around the opening). Turned it over and hem stitched the rim down. Cut the slit f...

Fools Gold 2 Round Robin - Kerry's beetle is finished

Image
He's totally made of real gold work supplies, I just couldn't do him justice using cheaper products, and the lady he will belong to deserves the best.  He's 3 inches long and 1 1/2 inch wide, so he's quiet large, he will be the main feature of the block. I'm also wanting to add a large flower on the white section to complement him, an Australian Waratah was what I had in mind.  I will have to cover him carefully so that he's stays crisp for his long journey home. Here are some close ups of Kerry's Royal Beetle. Arlene
