I bought a new book recommended by Queeniepatch called The Visual Guide to Crazy Quilting Design by Sharon Boggon which is very informative and which inspired me to have a go at an embroidered patch. I have done crazy quilting before but not with lots of embroidery decoration.
My plain block is shown above and I started the embroidery on one of the short corners below.
The author of the book, Sharon Boggon also has the website called pintangle where you will find the 'Take a Stitch Tuesday' challenge which is excellent for learning embroidery stitches each week.
Oh, how nice to have you on-board the cq cruise. Many adventures await!
