TAST2 - Crossed and Plaited Feather Stitch

TAST2 - Woven Cross

Another UFO finished ...

Back in January 2009 I took sharonB's class "Encrusted Crazy Quilting". The block was nearly done, apart from one area. Now I finally finished it: added something here and there and worked this button cluster part:

Und wieder ist ein UFO fertig ...

Im Januar 2009 hatte ich sharonB's Online-Kurs "Encrusted Crazy Quilting" belegt. Der Block war bis auf einen kleinen Teil fertig. Nun habe ich endlich auch den letzten Teil gearbeitet - dieses Knopf-Cluster - und hier und da ein wenig hinzugefügt:

Here are a few more details:

Noch ein paar Details:

Stickamazonen Challenge #23

This is the last task of the Stickamazonen challenge.

Die letzte Aufgabe für die Stickamazonen Challenge.

TAST 2 - Checkered or Magic Chain

There are actually two colors (just poor photo quality). This stitch was fun, much easier than I thought. I like it.

Es sind tatsächlich zwei Farben (halt nur ein schlechtes Foto). Dieser Stich hat Spaß gemacht und war viel einfacher als ich gedacht hätte. Ich mag ihn.

TAST 2 - Buttonhole Picots

I am not satisfied with my buttonhole picots. I tried several time but this is all I can come up with at the moment. For instructions see Pin Tangle.

Mit meinem Stickergebnis bin ich gar nicht zufrieden. Auch nach mehreren Versuchen ist dies alles, womit ich aufwarten kann. Für die Anleitung siehe Pin Tangle.

The Stitch Files - Feather Stitch

This is one of my favorite stitches. I made a sample of wool, perle cotton and embroidery thread overlaying the stitches.

Back in 2008 I worked a sampler book which I did not want to destroy. So I just glued a photo of my book into the files.

Here is the content of my booklet. Some variations ...

... different threads, from sewing thread to wool and strips of fabric ....

... and some beaded variations.

UFO finished ...

Today I finished this little Crazy Quilt. Here are the blocks which I did some time ago. I am not really satisfied with them but decided to leave them as they are, documenting what I was able to do at the time I worked them.

Heute habe ich diesen kleinen Crazy Quilt fertiggestellt. Hier sind die Blocks, die ich vor einiger Zeit gemacht habe. Ich bin nicht wirklich zufrieden damit, habe mich aber entschlossen, sie so zu lassen wie sie sind, gewissermaßen als Dokument dessen, was ich seiner Zeit zu tun in der Lage war.

I covered the seams with a few beads and put some lace around the blocks.

Die Nähte habe ich mit einigen Perlen versehen und Spitze um die Blocks genäht.

The fun part: beaded feather stitch.

Der Spaß-Part: Federstich mit Perlen.

Stickamazonen Challenge #22

This is the task for the Stickamazonen Challenge that I created.

Diese Aufgabe habe ich für die Stickamazonen entworfen..

TAST2 - Picot Chain Stitch

I could not get it even. Not sure whether I like it or not. Wish there were more of a picot.

For instructions and inspiration see Pin Tangle.

Irgendwie habe ich den Stich nicht gleichmäßig hinbekommen. Ich bin mir auch nicht sicher, ob ich den Stich mag oder nicht. Wenn da ein wenig mehr Picot wäre ...

TAST2 - Kiko's Flower Stitch

A lovely stitch!

Ein schöner Stickstich!

Stickamazonen Challenge #21

The Stitch Files - Chevron Stitch

I was never attracted by this stitch and had to work a first sample. But playing with the stitch made it more interesting to me.

And I thought it must be possible to work it somehow in an irregular manner.

The Stitch Files - Fly Stitch

Samples done for the Personal Library of Stitches class:


Some snowflake flowers I used in CQ:

The Stitch Files - Detached Chain Stitch

I worked this samples for the Personal Library of Stitches class.

Some examples of detached chain I used for Crazy Quilting.

The Stitch Files - Chain Stitch

This is what I included in my Chain Stitch file. The first little piece I made some time ago.

Recently I worked a sample using crochet yarns. I have lots of them and wanted to test them for stitching. I never dyed threads so far but perhaps I will try it some day so that I can use all the yarn for stitching.

I like chain stitch as filling stitch ...

and for crazy quilting.
