6 Picture Meme


This is a bit of fun! I have just been tagged by Susan Loftin for the 6 Picture Meme. So, here is my picture. I am uncertain how to relate this to stitching... textural interest? ...a study in light and shadow? Maybe I better find the stitching relevance in the six blogs I tag in turn! lol
This is Duke, dd's bloodhound. He is still a pup, under a year, but I have been fascinated with how the characteristic bloodhound folds have been developing in his face. Which is why a while ago I found myself lying on the floor taking this picture upwards as he looked down at me from an armchair. This is the first bloodhound we have had in the family but I don't think he will be the last. He has a wonderful personality and I'm sure I will appreciate it even more when he gets over the puppy chewing stage. So far he has eaten numerous shoes, a cell phone, a loveseat, etc. Just last night it was my new dental floss and a piece of crazy quilting recently completed. Don't let that deter you though, he is fearcely loyal, intelligent, playful and very loving. So, that's the story!
Now on to the six blogs I am tagging in return.
1. On Leslie Ehrlich's Pinyon Creek Stitchin' you can see details of the three Making Memories Quilts she is putting together. These quilts are crazy quilted and have been constructed using bridal fabrics - they are truly glorious. More closeups of these quilts which have been made to benefit breast cancer are available at Leslie's Flickr site, along with many other photos of her glorious crazy quilting!
2. At Thelma's Hand Dyes you can follow her journey with colour, as she creates wonderful fabrics with the art of dyeing. These works of art would be so wonderful to use in some crazy quilting. It's a good thing I'll never get a chance to see Thelma's studio - I would be tempted to go in there with my scissors... just a snip her and a snip there!
3. Linda Boudreau's Threads of Love - Besides being one of my all time favourite people, Linda is an extremely generous and prolific stitcher. I have been blessed with several wonderful surprises from Linda and they are all treasures. Right now Linda seems to be dividing her time between knitting socks and dishclothes, crocheting the tiniest little Thread Bears (imagine a crochet bear only two inches tall!) and making wheelchair bags and bean bags to gift to the local nursing home. Linda's All That Jazz block for the Katrina quilts is one of my all time favourite pieces of crazy quilting.
4. Lyn's Quilting Lion is another favourite of mine. Lyn does beautiful crazy quilting. You will also find a wonderful tutorial on her blog of how to make a crazy quilted pinkeeper from old compact discs. Be careful though... they are addictive!
5. I love to visit Judy's blog, CJ Stitching and Blooms, and watch the progress of her project, "Crazy Quilt of my Dreams", as well as other things she has going. Judy's blog was recently beautified by her friend, Heather, from Saskatchewan, Canada. Nice to have friends with such great talent in graphic art!
6. You may have noticed there were two blogs in #5 - I wanted to mention another here that I won't contact to play this little game. I do, however, want to point the way to the Crazy Quilting International blog. Such a feast for the eyes!!
So to pass on the fun! Here are the rules: Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures. Go to the 6th Folder, then pick the 6th picture in that folder. Post that picture on your blog and the story that goes along with the picture. Tag 6 other people that you know or don’t know to do the same thing and leave a comment on their blog or an e-mail letting them know you chose them.

Giveaway Day! (CLOSED)

I am very happy to be joining in the Giveaway Day through Sew, Momma, Sew .  I have chosen to share one of my finds from a shopping trip, or treasure hunts as I think of them.  This is an antique sewing box -  I could not resist it when I saw it for sale!  Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week? The box itself is fairly small, 8 inchs X 6 inchs and 4 inches high (20 cm X 15 cm and 10 cm high).  From my research it is of Asian origin. Inside the sewing box is lined with hand-painted silk.  The inside of the lid features a neat little needlebook. In the bottom of the sewing box there are more beautiful hand-painted blossoms and an attached pincushion.  I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway.  I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a...

Giveaway!

I am feeling like celebrating for various reasons! Firstly, this is my 100th post on my blog and that seems worthy of a little celebration. Secondly, I can now count the days on this year's camping season on my fingers! It has been a busy summer out here at the campground and I am anticipating getting home for a rest - I am so looking forward to hot showers, a real bed, good lighting and my comfy stitching chair! So, I have decided to celebrate with a giveaway! I think these are great fun and have put my name down for several and even won once so it feels like time to be on the hosting end for a change. I have decided to give away a squishie of items for stitching, embellishing and inspiration. I can't show you a picture right now because of the twist I have come up with! I'll start out with a squishie containing some fun items like an oya or two, specialty threads and fancy yarns, a silkie and a couple other things. For every person who puts their name in the draw by leavi...

400 Post Giveaway

Well, gotta love those nice round numbers like 400! It is always a good excuse to celebrate by having a little giveaway. Every year I anticipate the publication of Just CrossStitch's Christmas Ornament issue. I start watching the newsstands about September and worry I won't manage to find a copy before they are sold out. This little obsession of mine probably explains how I managed to buy two copies! So, I would like to share one with my readers. If you aren't familiar with this magazine - it really is a "keeper"! Seventy-five designers have each provided a Christmas ornament with instructions. These small designs are often useful for making cross stitch cards or as motifs for cq using waste canvas as well. So, this time the draw will be a little different. Enter by leaving a comment on this post - that gives you one entry. If you follow my blog, leave another comment saying so - that gives you a second entry. If you post about the giveaway on your blog, leave a t...
