Since starting the embellishing, I've had a hard time putting this project down! I stitch on it before work, during my lunch hour, and after work until past what should be my bedtime. Maybe this weekend I will put it aside and work on something else for awhile.
Do you have projects that you just can't stop working on?
Soooo beautiful ! I can understand why you can't leave it : the more you work on it, the more it's getting gorgeous. Congratulations, Pam !
As to me, I'm busy embroidering on a patchworked wallhanging. I made the top looong ago, and it suddenly appealed to finish it properly... Now, the more I embroider, the more I find Something to add! It's like an endless story LOL (I'll soon be posting about it)
Gorgeous work Pamela, so pretty. I once embellished a brown and pink quilt top, just couldn´t stop for weeks, then all of a sudden I realized how big the thing was and stopped. I chopped it up a year later and made cushion covers for my daughter.
The rewarding thing with crazy quilting is that the seams are short. You can finish a seam quickly and move to another before you get bored. You can add new stitch combinations until you are satisfied. That makes this kind of stitching 'non-stoppable'. Yes, I have had several 'I'll just stitch a bit more' projects.
We know how you love your embellishing, and it looks great! I get that 'can't put down' feelings with projects sometimes, and usually it's not what I *should* be working on...
That's exciting, I can see there's so many possibilities. Great embellishing Pamela.

ReplyDeleteIt's exciting to see your work progressing, Pamela!
ReplyDeleteEvery new project is exciting at the time of starting, unfortunately if I get to a tricky decision it usually disappears into my "Dreaded Cupboard"!
Have a lovely weekend!

This is the kind of crazy quilt I love. What I call vintage...not Romantic with all the frau frau laces etc.
