I'm a participant in the Crazy Quilt Journal Project 2013. So far I've made 1 block each month. I've made 3 blocks this month for my Crazy Cravings lap quilt. I want to have 20 blocks so need to step things up a bit if I want to finish a lap quilt in January 2014. This is the first block for September. The other two will follow in posts in the next couple of days.
Start with a bowl of chocolates...
...on one seam stitch up a few bullion star chocolate candies...
...on another seam add a herringbone stitch in 3 strands of blue DMC and then in 3 strands of variegated pink DMC and below it add a little lace (actually I think it is hem binding) bordered by chain stitches and french knots.
This seam has some entwined feather stitches in brown and in white perle #8. Inside the circles I kind of imitated the coffee beans and leaves in the fabric with some lazy daisy stitches and french knots.
And finally I added buttonhole stitch on one seam and some leaves, lazy daisy and french knots on another seam.
Love your Crazy Cravings quilt blocks--this will be a "scrumtious" quilt...hugs, Julierose
