<span style="font-size: large;">The fan is completed just have to finish off the back and put my name on it before I send it to the San Francisco School of Needlework & Design for the Stitch-at-Home Challenge BURLESQUE! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I received an envelope filled with Kreinik threads. The unruly tassel was made from the leftovers after I stitched the design.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The part I like the best is the piece of material? lace? I covered with buttonhole stitch. I took the first pictures on the piece I have left. I probably no will use this again in another project. </span><br />

The solid areas are padded and covered with Kreinik 1/8 " metallic ribbon in several colors and outlined in sequins on the outside edge and beads on the inside edge. The pink circles are couched Kreinik thread. The wave (which I will probably rip out) is sequins. </div>

The process of covering the padded areas with metallic ribbon and buttonholing around the cotton lace was very time consuming. That plus an unscheduled trip to Vermont and New Hampshire for a couple of days are the reasons this is not yet completed.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Sadly a lot of the blogs I used to follow no longer post so in my search for new blogs I have found some needlepoint bloggers. This is the last needlepoint I did. It was started when I retired in 1998 and finished in 2002 and was my first blog post. In the years since I discovered many different types of embroidery and no longer do needlepoint. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">For many years while still gainfully employed I took needlepoint lessons from a local shop. The owner had this canvas hand painted for her own personal use. When she closed the shop I purchased the canvas from her. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When I was working the canvas and started the animals I went to the local library to get pictures of animals to get some ideas of how to stitch them. I was in the children's department and came upon this book</span><br />

Snow-Whites face and neck are done on slips of flesh colored cotton over pieces of cardboard cut to the shape of the face and neck. A combination of stitches and micro pen were used to delineate the features.

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy New Year </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Started reclaiming and embellishing a damaged quilt I bought at Brimfield over this past summer. The first step is just some basic outlining. This is done two of the nine Hexies I will be using. </span><br />

Trying to enhance these little flowers ... tried beads, French knots, maybe ribbon.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">New Years day we always go to an Antique Show in Glastonbury CT. The show was mostly jewelry and Primitives with only a few textile dealers. I was looking for buttons that would have a thirties vibe. Here's what I found! Don't know why but I couldn't resist a small box of rooster buttons. Roosters in red, pink, yellow, green, blue, brown, and black in all different sizes. The face button ,the spastic tennis player, and the red and clear glass buttons I thought fit the bill.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">You might ask why the name The Witches Heart! The mother of pearl buttons in the center and the heart on the back with my initials in it have a twist at the bottom are called Witches Hearts. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A little history I found.......</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">(these are not my words sorry I lost the source) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Witch's hearts were worn for their "magical properties", that being to ward off evil spirits and protecting loved ones. Interpretations in jewelry often change over time, through the changing perceptions of symbolism and society. In the 18th century, they were tokens of love. The Witches Heart came to mean that the wearer had "bewitched" the giver."</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am still working on my other quilt but its on a large frame in my studio which is not air conditioned and just too hot to work on.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't like to start other projects till one is finished but I decided to experiment.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was inspired by Nicki Seavey's Crazy Quilting on a damaged quilt top someone had given her. I have had it in the back of my mind and finally found one (not nearly as nice) at the Brimfield Flea Market in July. It was damaged, reasonably priced and worn so I took a chance. </span></div>

I don't every cut up items that are intact no mater how much I love them but this had loads of damage around the edges. A friend cut the Hexies out and I ended up with 85 usable ones. </div>

Its white nylon organza over yellow silk organza and you really can't tell that the top layer is cut out in the 4 hexes at the corners and in the petals around the edges. I plan on 12 blocks so I will need to find or probably make 48 somethings to go in the empty hexes in the corners.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was concerned about running out of 4mm black laquer sequins for my current project. I tried to order more from Langlois-Martin in France but they closed for vacation until the end of August. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I found this piece of damaged trim that is about 10" wide and 2 yards long for $20!! I can rescue more than enough 4mm black laquer sequins to finish my project. The bugle beads will probably find a home as well.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have spent the last week trying to figure out what my background would be. When I do something like this I need lots of the item so I have enough to finish without running out. So I have been counting squares and beads to estimate if I have enough. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the pattern I have decided on. I have enough of the gold and black beads but the</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">4mm black lacquer sequins, </span><span style="font-size: large;">item I need the most of, I am iffy on the. I would order another hank from Langlois-Martin but they are on vacation till the end of August.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am pretty sure I have enough 4mm to finish the perimeter and if I run out I plan to switch to 5mm </span><span style="font-size: large;">for the center bits. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">These are my favorite boots!! Got them in black (shown) and brown at the "mall" 3 years ago in Aldo's. I was in a store catering to teenagers because I was shopping with my granddaughter. She didn't find anything but I found the only boots in the store that didn't have 3" platforms. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Needed to have them resoled over the summer so they are ready to go for another season!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to add a little something to them... like they needed it! So I cut black ultra suede to fit each boot and embroidered them with of course sequins, beads, and fringe!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have been busy with life and embroidery. I did a page for <a href="http://kittyandmedesigns.blogspot.com/">Pam Kellogg's</a> 2016 Calendar which will come out in September and I entered a Crazy quilt challenge. I can't show the calendar page yet but here is the challenge block. The entry was due June 1. Among the items in the challenge kit were 11 different gingham fabrics that had to be include. I though I was most clever to pull out my Arlene Baker flower mold and make gingham flowers.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Well there is a sad ending to this story. I made repeated contacts with the challenge person who advertised and sold the kits to find out when the winners would be announced. Each time there was a horrible event that happened in this persons life that prevented the finalization of the contest and the announcement of the results. I felt petty for asking any further and finally just asked for a refund of the kit price. Actually when you read the fine print it said when the entry was due but did not spell out when the winner would be announced. So buyer beware!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My luck with CQ Round Robbins (never getting your block back) and now entering a contest, putting in a lot of thought and work with no result makes me want to swear off both. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love vintage metal lace!!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">But</span><span style="font-size: large;"> it is totally out of my price range. As I was looking at the lace she came right over and started telling me the story of how she bought it 20 years ago from a fellow dealer and paid $200 for it because she had to have it. She also said that the 3" wide trim was 40 yards long. I admired it of course and put it down to go and search out my husband. She came after me with the lace in her hand and asked me what I would pay for it. I hesitated as I didn't want to insult her saying it was out of my price range but she said how about $50. I said of course I would pay $50 and she handed it to me. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Needless to say I was flabbergasted!! I paid her the money and went away in a daze looking for my husband.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The lace was wrapped on a cardboard card and I knew there was not 40 yards. When I got home I measured the lace and there is 18 feet.... still a bargain at $50.
