My embroidered trims and beaded Cameos.

My dear dear friend Judyth received my crocheted motifs. She loved them!! I was so happy. I do for her not only motifs that you see in my previous post. I also do a few small flowers from regular sewing threads. You can see them in the right bottom corner.








This picture Judith put on the Crazy Quilting for Newbies list. All my list friends loved them and my friend Susan remind me about embroidered trims that I did. I am completely forgot about them. I forgot about my little Cameos too.

If you want them - ask me. I'll happy to sell them for you.

New crazy project finished

This weekend I worked on another CQ project. I stitched the the piece of CQ. It wasn't regular block. I do it in circle segment shape. I used a natural shades of color. I never don't used only this shades before and want to try them.

After this I embellished it and stitch 2 straight sides together. I hided a stitch under a piece of lace and sewed a circle bottom. This is the three sides of finished shape.

I don't know what the name of this thing but I love it! I think I can call it a Christmas ornament or just ornament.

If you have any idea let me know what it is.

I love this ornament so much and my family too that I do 2 more in other stile.

I used my buttons. There are ordinary buttons. I like then and can't call them bored. They are not!

I had a pleasure when I do them. Now I must to find a place for them. My be I'll Put them on my DaWanda shop for sale.

I love to do things. not to keep them.

Have a nice weekend.

Before I dash off to work I just wanted to point to Old Crazy Stitcher as there are some great tutorials on using Ric Rac for motifs. Crazy quilters will love them as embellishments. Thanks Ira for drawing my attention to them in the comments - they are well done and well illustrated.
