I started my Crazy White quilt in February 2012. The first block was finished very quick, but then there
were other projects that needed my attention. Last month I finished block 4
with many TAST stitches. To speed up the process I decided to make it my new
WIPW project. It worked, a week ago this was just a naked 8 x 8 inch block. Now
it’s almost finished.
This is a seam with
Chevron stitch in perle 8. I decorated it with long tailed chain stitches and
straight stitches in Rainbow Gallery Treasure Braid Petite, which is very
difficult to photograph.
Up and down buttonhole stitch
in YLI Silk buttonhole twist with straight and detached chain stitches in
cotton a broder. I’m going to add beads at the straight stitches when the block
is finished.
My unfinished floral
spray. I used silk ribbon for the gathered flowers and French knots. The
feather stitch is done in Stef Francis perle 5, the detached chain stitches in
DMC perle 5.
Work In Progress
Wednesday is a support group to encourage people to complete languishing
projects, Works In Slow Progress or UFO’s.

WIPW really works. It is so good to have a weekly 'show and tell' report. You have made great progress and used a lot of wonderful stitches. I bet it is hard to photograph all white.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you Queenie. Yes, it's difficult to photograph on a rainy day!
VerwijderenAbsolutely stunning. Someday, I really must make a white-on-white or cream-on-cream crazy quilt. Yours is just so pretty.
