This is a very conventional use of the buttonhole stitch but I promise embellishments are coming.
What else have I been inspired to do:
A CQ block for a future AAQI donation. I came across an embroidered handkerchief and immediately did this before I got cold feet about using it.
This is a future AAQI donation, too. The embroidered bird is one of several Debra gave me awhile back for future AAQI quilts. Using my blanket stitchery skills here!
While I was walking yesterday I had a couple more ideas that I will share later. I had a thought about how to collect all the TAST stitches and more Alzheimer quilts. I'm keeping file of ideas since this is going to be a busy year and I'm going to have to turn those out fairly easily.
Blogger seems to be jumping back and forth between new and old blogging. I've heard from others that they were unable to leave comments for the past couple of days. I had that problem on Friday - I hope it's fixed because I love hearing from fellow quilters. This morning, I was getting both the old and new way of posting photos.
Today is my annual outing with my daughters and sister in law. A couple of weeks after Christmas we pick somewhere to spend the day, have breakfast, and shop. For the past couple of years we've gone to Ikea and Atlantic Station. This time, the girls wanted to do Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza. At those two posh places, I doubt much shopping will get done! Ca-ching, ca-ching! I rarely go to Buckhead any more - that's what happens when you move to the 'burbs: you lose your edge - so this should be fun. I lived for several years in the Peachtree Hills.
Have fun stitching!
I like what you've done with the embroidered handkerchief, and the bird block is going to be gorgeous! You've really been busy!
ReplyDeleteNice buttonhole, too.
I like what you did with the hankie, and the bird, too. It's good to have more than one thing to work on.
