Crazy Monday 4
The embroidery on my third crazy Monday block was finished last Wednesday. It's very addictive! I used different kinds of threads this time. I used perle for the cable chain stitch between the cherry pie and the red fabric with white dots. The sheaf stitch on the triangle is done in a silk thread I received in a swap. The other stitches are done in DMC with 2 threads.
And I made a new block this morning. I used a lovely flannel fabric with apples in the centre. After I took the picture I did some embroidery on it. I think this one will be finished very soon!

Pink
I made these ATC's for a pink fabric ATC swap. I used felt for the background. I made some cuts in the dark pink felt and wove the pink strips through them. The French knots secure them. I made woven and whipped wheels to decorate. The edge is a piece of cotton yarn. I sent these to Hannah and Deena.
These are the ATC's I received for this swap. The left one is made by Tricia again, she wrote about it here. Don't forget to take a look at her white one too! The right one is made by Helen and she made two of them, one for me and one for Tricia.

Brown
I made these ATC's for a brown fabric ATC swap. I appliquéd 6 different circles on a piece of brown Gingham. The edge is made of an organza ribbon. The first one with the bat is sent to Ingrid, the second one with the turtle to Deena.
And I received these lovely ATC's for the same swap. The one with the buttons is made by Helen, it's a heavy one! The other one is made by Tricia, she wrote about it here. The feathered chain stitch one this ATC inspired me to use it on my first crazy Monday block.

Cable chain stitch

Miriam reminded me of TAST twice: she did the bullion knot and the sheaf stitch. So I worked on the cable chain stitch. It's very easy, but I like it best with a thicker thread like the photo below. And that brings me to a question. This thread was in a bag with leftovers I bought about a year ago. This nice green thread has only a label with number 955 on it. I hope someone recognize it, because I want to use it more often. Please leave a comment if you know this thread.
