I am a crafter - I sew , knit, quilt, paint...whatever comes around! I love to do thread painting ( learned to do that at Sulky Teacher Training). I teach beginner sewing classes to children AND adults. This is very rewarding!
I also do quilting workshops. Now we havin' fun!sherylbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08393978906516719516noreply@blogger.comBlogger75125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882179286204247172.post-50854803629611879572018-06-06T09:54:00.000-05:002018-06-07T07:56:24.510-05:00Stitchery Link PartyHand embroidery is one of my all time favorite things to do. I don’t do it as much as I used to, but that could change at any time. You know how we crafters are😏<br />
Supermomnocape.com is having a stitchery link party! Sooo, I’m posting my Victorian Crazy Quilted Christmas Stocking for your viewing pleasure. I did a post about these way back when I started this blog , but only posted a picture of part of a stocking.<br />
These are hand pieced from vintage fabrics and lace. Then I spend hours and days doing the hand embroidery ( about 100 hours per stocking!). I have to <i>really</i> like you for you get one of these! They are also large, 18” long and 11” across the toe section.<br />
I have included closeup photos of some of the sections of each stocking.<br />

Lori Holt from Bee in My Bonnet wrote this awesome book. You have the option to make 6" or 12" blocks. For this sew along, I have decided to make the 6" block. I will post the finished blocks here as I go. I know, I know, the sew along started at the beginning of the month! However, every now and again, life steps in and rearranges my plans. Not to worry! I have next week to 'catch up'. I will be house sitting while my daughter and family go to Disney World. I figure I can make 3 or 4 blocks a day. We'll see!</div>

Want to sew with me? Get the book and let's do it!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Want to try it? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Here's all you need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A LARGE bowl</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Left over fried chicken ( or run out and buy some!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Salad greens ( I like romaine)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Two tomatoes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Mayonnaise </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Sweet pickle relish </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Salt and black pepper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Take the chicken off the bone and chop it up, but not too small! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Tear the lettuce into the bowl</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Cut the tomatoes into wedges and toss into the bowl. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Salt and pepper lightly! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Add the chicken pieces</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Mix 2 or 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise with about a teaspoon of sweet pickle relish. This is your dressing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Mix it in ,a tablespoon at a time ,until your salad has the desired amount of dressing . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Savor! </div>

It wasn't hard at all .<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I used 6 1/2" squares of the focus ( back that flips up) and a 5 1/2" squares of the solid with 1 inch sashing sewn around. Used fusible fleece to give it shape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Sew pairs with right sides together, leaving a space to flip right side out. Whip stitch closed. To mark sewing lines measure 3" down from corner and Mark, then 2 " from opposite corner, diagonally .Do this on both sides of the square. Use a ruler to draw the line from one point to the other. I used a frixion pen. You don't have to mark every square, just every other one. Iron off marks when all squares at joined . Oh, there are 12 squares in all. Then lift corners and join with a bead on top</div>

That, my friends, is a 26' Uhaul truck! We packed that puppy to the ceiling from front to back! The sad part? It was all from an apartment we occupied for the past eight years (that's another story), and we are moving BACK to our house (WHICH IS FULLY FURNISHED!!), two hours away. It took us 2 days to pack and load up that truck, then another day to unload it. Good! Done, you say? Not even close! There were 100 boxes in that truck . All 12"X 12" or 16" X 16". I now have towers of boxes in almost every room of my small two bedroom house. My son's room (he's away at college, whew!), is packed with ALL THE BOXES FOR MY SEWING ROOM (30 OF THEM !!), And , I do mean packed! You can stand in the doorway , and that's as far as you can go!<br />
<br />
Problem No. 1- My sewing room is not complete! The things I have in there needs to come out so I can put the flooring/rug down.<br />
<br />
Problem No. 2 - My house was not lived in for 8 years! EVERYTHING in the kitchen had to be washed, weeded out, or painted. Yes! I washed every dish I own! All that while unpacking what goes in there! THAT took me an entire week!<br />
<br />
My hands are like sandpaper. My bruises have bruises. I get up at 4:30am to begin the task at hand. Oh, and did I mention that my water heater went out???? I have to heat water on the stove to wash all those dishes! My dear brother is coming to install the new water heater. We are switching from gas to electric, so a little work is involved.<br />
<br />
Why would I go through all this, you may ask. Well, my husband was laid off. The company actually closed down. Oil field related. It's bad, people.<br />
<br />
The upside?<br />
We are back in our house. We are together. This , too, shall pass!<br />

I get in every morning (almost) at 9:00 and just swim from one end to the other, back and forth , until I get tired. Then I grab my green noodle and kick from one end to the other . I do this for about an hour. Yes, I'm calling it exercise, hehe! Sometime I get back in the pool in the evening, around 7:00, especially if it was a hectic day.

It only has a 4x4 hoop, but that's good for now. I have been doing lots of embroidery. Quilt blocks, pillow covers, Christmas ornaments. There are, surprisingly, oodles of designs out there for a 4x4 hoop! I am a little leery of 'free' designs. However , I have found a few sites that are, so far, very trustworthy for downloading free designs.<br />
<br />
My current favorite is http://embroideres.com/free-embroidery-designs/<br />
<br />
Theirs is broken in categories. Makes for easier searching for a particular design.<br />
Like this cute one to welcome 2015....in Japanese! (? I guess it's Japanese!?) Year of the Goat?<br />

<br />
I want to travel. I know, I do do travel quite a bit, but , I want to travel with my husband. We plan to go to Las Vegas this year. Hopefully within the next month. We have a new grandbaby due at the end of March, so that sort of puts a kink in any travel plans around that time. I suppose that means I'll be home....sewing!<br />
<br />
I really should make a list of all my PHD's and get those knocked off this year. What are PHD's? Well, Projects Half Done, of course. I happen to have more than a few of those. I'll think about it. Not sure I want to tackle such a big list this year.<br />

I was too busy and couldn't even keep up with email, let alone my blog. I am not happy about that. I will do my best to keep up this year.<br />
<br />
Let me give you sort of an update of what I've been up to.<br />
In March 2014 I was the Director of the GSQA 15th Biennial Quilt show. We donated a total of 62 quilts to the local Fire and Police Departments. That's me in the middle.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also had the honor of displaying some of the awesome, award winning quilts made by the founder of GSQA, Marion Maerke. This was her Humming Birds that won more than one ward in 1984.</div>

THEN, after a very hectic week of quilt show, I flew to Washington D.C. with my, then 82 year old, Dad. I took him to the Cherry Blossom Festival and it was AWESOME! It was his first trip to D C so we did the normal touristy things: The war monuments, he was a Master Sergeant in the army during the Korean War, the Arlington Cemetery, The white House and The Capital. It was the trip of a lifetime and neither of us will ever forget it</div>

Now we are to Christmas, or Christmas sewing! I made 26 candy cane holders for my granddaughter's class. I made a reading tent for her playroom and a teepee for my grandson. For myself I made a table topper. I call it Peppermint Twist. I made it for a guild red and white challenge. I got an Honorable Mention.<br />
