I've started working on a crazy quilted tea cosy. I love having a morning cuppa but find that the tea is getting cool before I've finished. Hopefully a tea cosy, as well as looking nice, will let me extend those lazy mornings!
Both front and back will be crazies. One side is done. This is also my May block for the CQJP2015 challenge.
I've been keeping up with the TAST challenge, but last week got slack about posting on my blog, although I did post on the TAST facebook page. So here are week 2 and week 3 for the TAST challenge.
Week 2: Buttonhole stitch. As a seam treatment, buttonhole wheels and a buttonhole leaf.
Week 3 is feather stitch. Worked here as seam treatments and also to join blocks and borders.
Anyone wanting to learn how to do these stitches, should click on the TAST badge to the right. This will take you to the Pintangle page, then click on TAST FAQ which lists all the stitches and gives instructions on how to do them. Mary Corbet also has great tutorials, including easy to follow video instructions.
Over on Kathy Shaw's page a new free crazy quilting course will be opening for registration in a couple of days. The course is Embellishing with Threads. I'm looking forward to learning more on this course. Anyone wanting to get into crazy quilting should take a look at her free classes. They are great classes with easy instructions and so much fun seeing what other participants are doing.
