Crazy quilt block Teal

The Teal block is progressing well picture below with the latest stitching,

Saturday afternoon while the 'bomb' raged --wild winds and heavy rain my granddaughter and I painted

I painted Lace and ribbons to use on my blocks and Danielle painted paper to use on her projects  she just used the dirty water from cleaning the brushes and her paper came out really well--so to did my Laces and ribbons Look out for them on the next blocks.

Thanks for checking my blocks  --comments welcome

Crazy Quilt Green Block

Kia-ora friends, my green block is finished -for now--I am sure that when the blocks are stitched together  there will be more embellishment required.
Comments on this block will be appreciated.

Next block is the Teal one.On checking out my threads I discovered I didnt have what I thought I needed  so a visit to Nancys in Wellington for threads was required.One or three came home with me

I have  painted the lace trims a new venture for me-- and the hand dyed cheesecloth under the darker lace was dyed by a special friend .

Any comments on this block?

27th February 2012

Kia-ora a very special day for my daughter, granddaughter and myself . My Oldest Grand daughter Alexa -May starts at Uni --Deakon in Melbourne Victoria . Australia -- We are so proud of her and wish her  well in her new venture.Alexa has always loved school and was impatient to get back to school half way thru holidays--Good luck with your studies and varsity life Alexa.
Now for stitching --I have at last started some Crazy Quilt blocks-- These will be all hand work-- will have to search out something to work with on Fudge tho.
Ihave so far started on a green block and have a purple and a teal block ready to stitch--no excuse for not having any handwork to take out with me!!

Salmon purse/bag needleholder thread holder finished

Kia-ora I have finished the stitching on this wee piece including the zip and a funny wee tassle to hang in the end of the zip.
The inside is lined with a soft fabric and has a couple of pockets to hold needles threads or ??
The zip is stitched in with buttonhole stitch in keeping with the stitching on the bag.
I have named the photos front and back but there really is no difference. The bag opens right out as the zip goes around three side --
