MY NEEDLEWORK.....

I have been wanting to make a bigger Crazy Quilt with all the fancy embroidery.  But wasn't really sure how to do it right.  My embroidery consists of some basic stitches.  I was over at Heather's place, Books and Quilts and saw a link for Pintangle,  Heather had spoken of  Sharon at Pintangle highly for her embroidery work on her Crazy Quilt.  So I decided to check it out.  Heather was right, Sharon's work is awesome.  Plus Sharon shares with tutorials for all the embroidery stitches.  I have been practicing....
Fly Stitch
The picture isn't the greatest, but if you click on the picture it enlarges it so you see it better.
Buttonhole Stitch
I've also been keeping a Stitch Diary.
I'm putting the name of the stitch and where I've used it at.  I'm a little behind right now at adding the new stitches.  But I'll catch up.  Now for my Ta-Da....my first Crazy Quilt block with some pretty embroidery, keep in mind I'm just a beginner at this.  This is the unfinished block....
This is the finished block...
I almost forgot, Sharon hosts Take A Stitch Tuesday.  So hop over and check out her place.  She has lots of stuff to see.  I'm linking up with Heather's Needlework Tuesday and Sharon's Take A Stitch Tuesday.
