WIPW - Edged and Portrayed

Wednesdays come round so quickly and it is hard to keep up the progress for Work In Progress Wednesday. 

It is nearing midnight and I have just put the edge on the purple

Crazy for Crazy

block. 
 This was really fun to make and I can hardly wait to start on the next block, which will be ruby red.

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.

      Thank you. The lady's face is rather wide, though, wouldn't you say?

    You have some gorgeous red fabrics there - just as rich and wonderful as the purples!

      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.

    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.

      Oh, I wish I had more free time or that time would pass more slowly. The hours are just swishing past!

      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.

    Lovely work. The hexagon frames really set off each one.
    Gorgeous red fabrics. Nice to see your Stumpwork ladies again.

      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.
