Crazy Monday 9
I finished block 8 for my crazy Monday quilt. The rickrack is attached with French knots and the flower ribbon with backstitches. There is a bigger photo here with more info about the stitches.
This morning I made a new block with a bee.

Crazy Monday 8
This week I finished the embroidery on block 7 of my crazy Monday quilt. The little cupcake is embroidered: the cake is made of large whipped buttonhole stitches, I used spiral trellis stitches for the topping and a cast on stitch to make a cherry. I wrote about the other stitches on my Flickr-page.
In my new block I used a lovely cat. I hope to do the embroidery on it this week.

Crazy Monday 7
Block 6 for my crazy Monday quilt. The size is 6 x 6 inch (about 15 x 15 cm). I received the button in a swap with Helen. You can see it bigger here with info about the stitches I used.
This is my new block, I finished it this afternoon.

Bubble and squeak
I made these ATC's for a blue and yellow swap. I was inspired by these ATC’s. She made a great tutorial a few days later. I used yarn, fabric and sequins between bubble plastic. It was fun to see how it changed after ironing it between baking paper. I only swapped 2 of them, so the others are still available for a swap if you are interested. Take a look at the photo here to see which ones are available.
I received these ATC’s from Colleen (left) and Alicia for the same swap.

It's a girl!
This morning we visited my brother and his wife to see their new baby. She was born on August 11. I used this lovely pattern to make a card. The embroidery is done with 2 strands of DMC.
In the last few months I worked on a little quilt for my new niece. I used 4 patterns from the book ‘Teddy Bear Redwork’ by Jan Rapacz. My eldest daughter came up with the name of the quilt: ‘k Zag vier beren. This is Dutch for I saw 4 bears, an alteration of the Dutch song for children.

Buttonholed herringbone stitch

. . . is the name of the stitch I used for the last seam of my crazy Monday block. It is one of the stitches in my embroidery book: Embroidery Stitches by Mary Webb. I was very happy with the result, it looks like scalloped lace. The foundation of this stitch is a large herringbone stitch. Then I made a buttonhole stitch over this foundation. Next Monday I will show you the block with the embroidery, but I wanted to share this lovely stitch.

Crazy Monday 6
Block 5 for my crazy Monday quilt is finished. I wrote about the stitches and the crochet on my Flickr-page.
My friend B surprised me this morning with a lovely scrap of fabric with teacups, teapots and a milk-jug. I used one of the China teacups in my next block.

Knotted buttonhole band
. . . is the TAST stitch I tried this week. First I used the aïda from my needleweaving experiment. The bottom row is the first I made. I made straight stitches with 2 strands of purple DMC and 3 strands of yellow for the knotted buttonholes. The top row is the same, I only used yellow.
This morning I made a variation on my crazy Monday block. I used 4 strands of DMC for it. The straight stitches are ¼ inch wide and I made a double knotted buttonhole band. The rows on the top and bottom are stitched from left to right. The inside rows are stitched from right to left and decorated with beads. I will show the complete block next Monday.
