It is nearing midnight and I have just put the edge on the purple
Crazy for Crazy
block.
I pulled out various pieced of red from my stash.
I also made another
Stumpwork Portrait
This was then turned into a greeting card.
The recipient of the card is strongly connected to the turquoise silk I used for the dress and I hope this fabric will evoke fond memories.

Your crazy block is very pretty and I love the stumpwork lady.
You have some gorgeous red fabrics there - just as rich and wonderful as the purples!
Time does fly doesn't it?
You've done beautiful work Queenie, your edging finish and getting your reds out.
The new stump work is a work of art, lovely, your friend will enjoy it.
Beautiful work and a very elegant lady.
It is so pretty.
Your crazy patch is just beautiful.
Thank you!
Oh, I wish I had more free time or that time would pass more slowly. The hours are just swishing past!
I am lucky to know a dressmaker who specializes in evening gowns and from time to time I get scraps of fancy fabric. Red seems to be a popular party colour.
Thank you. The lady's face is rather wide, though, wouldn't you say?
The purple is fabulous and the reds you've pulled are gorgeous. The card recipient will love it!
Thanks. I enjoyed making it so much!
After doing Trinity Green out of green stuff in my stash it is nice to make these monochrome cq blocks out of other colour in the stash.
Thank you.
Lovely work. The hexagon frames really set off each one.
Gorgeous red fabrics. Nice to see your Stumpwork ladies again.
brilliant queenie, I love this sort of quilting, I can't wait to see your red one, the material looks lovely.
I hadn't made a stump work portrait in a long time and it was really fun to make one. I wish I had had more time to dress her more properly in some realistic looking garment.
Oh, I do love crazy quilting. You can pile on as much as you like! Some of the red fabric will be a challenge to stitch, though.
I so, so, so, LOVE your stumpwork!!!
Thank you! Making a tutorial I on my bucket list!
Love the stumpwork lady!
Thank you.
