Work In Progress Wednesday today will show you
Crazy for Crazy
where I used the arabesque swirls in Running Stitch to build Knotted Running Stitch floral stems.
Leaves in long and narrow Lazy Daisy Stitch were added.
I also made a simple line of Cretan Stitch to cover one seam.
Next week I will take out the beads and pearls, and add the David Star Shirtwaist Button.
I have completed the inner area of teal and green with specs of gold and colour.
Two rows of metallic thread all around the stitching made a nice matt (mount).
Work has started on a red border.
Log Cabin Challenge
The completion of 10 more blocks brings the total number to 305.
I can no longer close the lid of the box; I will have to find a larger box for storage.
Crazy is looking fabulous, Queenie! I like that Cretan stitch.
ReplyDeleteLove the glitter on Tvitsöm, and my how your patches are growing!
You are keeping busy!

I really like the Cretan stitch too. I need to use it more. It looks great on the seam.
DeleteLovely work on the Crazy for crazy. The colours are not at all lost on the same tones background. The gold edging looks great and picks up the gold specks. The log cabin blocks made me think of your Trinity Green and the boxes you needed for that. I'd forgotten the Knotted Running stitch and must use it again.
ReplyDeleteYes, the size and the number of boxes grow in my sewing room too! Your octagon block is looking great!
ReplyDeleteThe teal and gold is going well, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteThose shades of blues in your blocks are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks, you are keeping at it.
