Crazy blocks...

Here are three crazy quilt blocks.  My friend SheilaSheilas Quilt World) showed me how to do one. Sooo hIere are the ones I have made so far.I need to do   more embellishing I can see. I only did some stitches & buttons. I guess the more blocks I do the better I will feel to add MORE. I did enjoy making them very much, Thanks Sheila...It has been a beautiful day here in Nova Scotia, sunny & warm.HORRAY!!!. Again , thanks for stopping in to see me & my little ALMOST finishes. D.

A stitchery

This stitch is  one i really like but for the life of me I can not remember which blog it comes from. I am thinking The Painted Quilt. I love this blog I am motivated by Kaarens lovely work. The little bird is a picture frame. I embroidered my inital in it, as I did one for my two sisters as well. I used white linen from an old tablecloth of my moms. It is soo soft a easy to stitch with.  I could not figure out how to turn this pic around... sorry. I'm away again. Blessings: D.

New Projects

Here are a few things I have been working on. The pictures above of the two little bunnies were from a magazine. I just thought they were soo cute & tiny. A good pair for a small space              The next photo is of a wool wall hanging that I made . I am still trying to decide how to finish the outer edges. It is a pleasure for me to work with wool. My mother loved daisies so I will think of her when I look at it. I just noticed that this piece is in a busy spot... all my other lovies all around. BUT that's me , things I treasure EVERYWHERE. If you can  get close to this piece you will see a tiny little angel (left side) I made my mom YEARS ago. A little  silk flower turned into a treasure.  I will do another (look & see) a little later on. I hope you will come back to see me. Blessings: Dianne.

Check in on me soon will you to see a few of my projects? I should have a tea ready . Blessings to you all. D.

Something newely learned

As some of you ladies know that my dear friend Sheila(Sheilas Quild World) & I go to sewing each Wednesday with some other wonderful ladies who have become our dear friends. We have a terrific teacher Shelley who is a gifted sewer & dear friend. Some Weds. turn out to be Theropy sessions for one or several of us. It is one day in my week I can honestly say that I actually PLAN my week around. This Wed. my dearie Sheila showed my how to make this crazy block. She took fabric & all for me. O. K. now Sheila I AM HOOKED. I really enjoyed making it .& the best part is that WE did it together. Thanks  soo much. The little bird on the block is from a piece of my Moms  clothing & the thread  is one from my moms stash. Many years old. I know she is pleased with me making little things with her bits & pieces. Oh yes She loved birds. The bird sits on my kitchen window sill , so Mom is there doing the dishes with me always.. About 8 inches of snow arrived here today. HAPPY SPRING!! I am glad I could share this chatterings with you. Mom would be happy to have shared this with you as well. Till the the next chatter ladies. Take care. Blessings: Dianne.

An Owl Anyone ???

It seems that everywhere  you look these days there are owls . Well my "hootie" is from My Tweets Block 2. I think he is soo cute. He is made of cotton , with wool eyes & wool feet. He is quiet & likes my hubbies big chair. Ha ha! If you look above the chair, you will see a crewel work I did too many years ago. Left the poor thing in a baggie & then found it again about 3 yrs. ago & did a little quilting & voila a wall hanging. You know it is like  you receive a gift when you come upon an old treasure & complete it. Thanks for sharing my chatter. Hootie & I are leaving you now. Till later on. Blessings: Dianne
