Sharing of Needlework

Sharing projects is always the highlight of any fiber friends visit. Our trip to Edisto was no exception, and the projects shared were wonderful.

Julia’s tiny yo-yo flag

....just to give you an idea of the size, it is in a 4”x6” frame!

L
And her end table cover made from 30’s reproduction fabrics. These yo-yos are about 1/2-3/4” finished.

There must have been several hundred in this piece. We all got a lesson in tiny yo-yos, and I can assure you that they are tedious, but so darned cute!

These are some of Julia’s necktie CQ blocks. Hers are made from approximately 5” hexies.

I love the way she added the tags from some of the ties, especially this Liberty of London one.





It’s hard to believe there are so many interesting ties. The backs of each hexie is a tone on tone black.

This is Cathy’s hexie tie quilt.....

Her blocks are larger and she has added some lazy daisies to her feather stitching.

Cathy’s blocks were already joined and she has feather stitched over the seams. She said that the pretty Basket design came from a silk scarf.


I totally forgot to take pics of Julia’s pretty rugs and her finished crazy quilt. We were just so busy having fun....

And did I mention that I have already started collecting ties???

The rule: Pay no more than $1 for ties unless really special; if special, $2 max; 100%silk. The above ties all qualified at $1 each. Love the Tabasco bottle.

On the home front, the Estes’ pup, Maya, has a cameo appearance in The Heritage School’s play, Legally Blond. 

What a diva!


Take Care,
