Victorian Crazy Quilt
duh:
This is my one planned heirloom quilt. I have spent ooodles of money on fancy fabrics. I have embroidered one 14 inch peacock with a couched, rhinestone studded, eyelash yarn tail like the one on the internet. It's nice. Now I am working on the owl block it is 8 inches. This one I am giving myself 3 years to finish. I hope to be done before the next quilt show in the spring of 2019. That is if I live that long.
I will try to get pictures of these blocks even if they are on the photo book website. I haven't taken a picture in a while.
duh:
I did get the rest of the head of the owl done last night. It's a fight every step of the way because I choose a painted picture of the owl as the inspiration and I just don't agree with it. So choosing every strand of floss is a battle. How could something so simple be so hard right?
And I expect the next embroidered block to be even worse. And I only gave myself three years to do this one.
Tina:
Don't struggle with it, Tammy. Try approaching it with peace and happiness.
duh:
You have never seen me craft have you. Peace and Happiness really don't come into it until I am done in most cases. If it happens then. I'm kind of a struggle and tussle type.
The head of the owl is done, yea!
Tina:
I put things away that I have to struggle with until I'm in a better frame of mind. if I have to fight it every step, I'm not going to enjoy it.
