Embroidery 101:Block 8

I just finished stitching the Block eight for the Embroidery 101 Quilt Along that I participate at Clover & Violet.   Basically there are nine blocks in total that we need to stitch for a 54" square quilt. Being said so...  it means  just one more block to go before the quilt top finish. 

The most challenging part while stitching this Block 8 was when I stitched the big petals. I used satin stitch with back stitch as the outline... just like Jennie's. I started with the outline followed with the satin stitch... I found it very difficult in filling up the space... in future I will remember to start with the satin stitch first and then the back stitch outline. Anyway it is a good experience ... and I'm happy with the result.

Happy Stiching!!

Hexagon Bag

Hi everyone!!
I should have posted about this Purse Week : A Contest sooner but I spent almost all of my free time working on my entry.  I've decided to come up with my own pattern this round and it was really a good experience for me !  Remember the post that I wrote about these hexagons...

 

I have been playing around with the idea of creating a bag pattern from these haxegons and this was some sort of a trial version.  There are still a lot more work to be done to the pattern but I'm happy with what I've ended up with.... 

 I call it Haxegon Bag

It comes with a key holder at the side and a pocket.

Crochet Along:Time Out Cowl

I finished crocheting the Time Out Cowl! Yea! I’m done. I really like how it turned out! I used bulky yarn …


The first Crochet Along that I've completed...  I really enjoy the fun and learn a lot from Rachel at Maybe Matilda. I choose to make my cowl into a twist style… and this is how it looks like!! Since I don't have model to put it on,I just use the hanger... If you wish to see  finished cowls by other talented people you may click HERE.

Thank you  for stopping by...

Happy Crocheting!!
