Annies Crazy World

At Easter we paint eggs so it seemed appropriate to me to paint eggs on my sampler…I used a fine metalic thread to stitch around each of the egg shapes and then used acrylic paints to colour the eggs and a black permanent ink marker to write the letters on the eggs.

It was a couple of months that I let slip bye without stitching on my sampler, so now that I am back to it I still want to include the journal events from that time but so as not to keep getting behind I want to keep it simple where I can and in tonights detail I have covered a buzy month with a To Do list.

I drew pencil lines on the fabric to make it look like a page from a note book and because I wanted to keep the clean cut edge look of a piece of paper I have attached it to the sampler with fusible webbing.

In 2005 I made a Crazy Quilted Brides Maid Dress for my friends wedding….

My friend has recently uploaded some of the more amuzing Photos from the wedding day.

and you have the opportunity to submit any captions that come to your mind as you view the photos…..enjoy!

Trellis Stitch into the Vs of the feather stitch.

The last time I posted I was about to head off on holiday and I had a lovely week away, the image is me enjoying Fairy Floss at Berry Market.

When I got home I was somewhat distracted and it has taken me a while to get back into the routine of stitching and blogging…some of what I have been up to will be revealed as I get back to blogging my sampler which I have now begun to update.
