Not much done in the way of sewing

I've been cleaning, cooking, etc. but not doing a whole lot of stitching.  One thing I did do was to make new front curtains.  You would think that I would have done this years ago.  At least it is done now.

From this

To This!

Here are some pictures of works in progress. Some are very slow works in progress.

This is a machine needle felted piece, which now needs a lot of hand embroidery.  I used mostly wool and silk fabrics and fibers.

Two pieces of silk fabric that I dyed using Adirondack color wash spray.

This is a crazy quilt block that I made when I took a class from Sharon B online.  I have never finished this.  You can find Sharon B online at www.pintangle.com.

This is a paper mock up of what I want to make as a crazy quilt.

            

                   This is the beginnings of the crazy quilt that I just finished sewing the other day.  I used lots of silks and fancy fabrics.  I even dyed some of my own velvets and silks.  This is for the Tree of Life crazy quilt contest at evening star designs: http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/Evening_Star_Designs_2011_Challenge_and_Contest.html

Why am I blogging?

I thought that I might actually try to do more embroidery, needle felting, crazy quilting, scrapbooking, and all those other things I have meant to do over the years.  Since I actually have time now, there is no excuse.  I also want to give God the glory in this endeavor--hence the name "Can the Leopard change her spots!"

I can't seem to change on my own--but with Christ's help I can do all things.  So let the doing begin!!
