I have several ongoing projects with deadlines fast approaching so I feel as though I succeeded in getting some necessary stitching accomplished this week. I took a few pictures that I'll share in this post.Julie and I had an idea last year and began in earnest several months ago. One aspect included silk screening and we felt ready to tackle that part when we completed Ginny Eckley's wonderful class.
Another part included crazy quilting and embellishing a panel approximately 2 1/2 yards in length. Not a small task for sure but I'm all but finished with this crazy quilted part. The project, when completed, will be a wearable art and for that reason I haven't incorporated
much silk ribbon embroidery.
I especially love silk ribbon embroidery in my crazy quilted projects so the panel looks a little bare in spots. I will probably add motifs done on buckram which can easily be removed for dry cleaning. I'll save that for the final step, however.
When all is finished and the final touches are added Julie and I will post our creations. Hopefully all will work according to our plans.
Awards......
I would like to include in this post several wonderful awards given to me by some really talented fellow crazy quilters. I am always humbled by the compliments I receive and equally touched when I'm given this wonderful recognition in the form of these awards.
I'm going to mention two I've received along with links to the talented women who passed them on to me. I am touched by your thoughtfulness and thrilled by the fact that you considered my blog as worthy. Many thanks!
Cathy with Crazy by Design has honored me with this Kreative Blogger Award. I know you are familiar with Cathy's beautiful work and therefore understand how much this means to me. Thanks Cathy for your support and for taking the time to read my blog.
Another wonderful stitcher is Jerry with Sewing Southpaw It's such a thrill to have her recognition as well along with the Brillante Weblog Premio - 2008. Thanks Jerry!
WOW! I feel really blessed to be the recipient of these two special awards.
I will follow through with the terms associated with these awards and pass them on in a later post. Thanks again to Cathy and Jerry!

This is just beautiful. Thanks for sharing some pics. I hope to see the whole thing when you are finished. Are you entering it in PIQF or one of the other shows with wearable art?
I'll be interested in seeing how you do your removable SRE. I have some ideas, but haven't needed to think about it, so haven't tried it out.
Your work is lovely. I'm so glad I stopped by. Your roses are amazing, I hope to learn that some day. I've just started dabbling in silk ribbon embroidery and it's very addictive! Love the feel of it running through my fingers. I will definitely be visiting again to see how the wearable art project turns out.
