Whazzit Contest! Day One


Okay, so I decided to have some fun and run a contest while I am away at the 3rd Annual CQI Retreat in Colorado!  Remember the old "whazzit" puzzles from years ago?  Each day a photo will be posted here showing a bit more of the above item or a different viewpoint.  You have to guess what it is!  Leave a comment - one guess a day only per person.  While I am away I won't be moderating the comments so you won't get to see any of the other guesses  You won't know if someone has guessed correctly until I come back and go through the comments and see who has the first correct answer so keep guessing.  You might be the first one to recognize it!  How well do you know your needlecrafts?  (Aha!  A hint already! Or is it?)

The CQI Retreat always involves some wonderful shopping opportunities so guess where the prize will be coming from?  Yes, you guessed that one right, I will be picking up some goodies while I am browsing the stitching stores in Colorado and that will be the prize.  Even I don't know what it will be yet!  So, have a close look and take a guess!

Looks like a zipper, but the teeth aren't deep enough to hold together.

Well, Kerry, I'll play. Are you using the sewing machine to sew a zipper?

Giveaway Day! (CLOSED)

I am very happy to be joining in the Giveaway Day through Sew, Momma, Sew .  I have chosen to share one of my finds from a shopping trip, or treasure hunts as I think of them.  This is an antique sewing box -  I could not resist it when I saw it for sale!  Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week? The box itself is fairly small, 8 inchs X 6 inchs and 4 inches high (20 cm X 15 cm and 10 cm high).  From my research it is of Asian origin. Inside the sewing box is lined with hand-painted silk.  The inside of the lid features a neat little needlebook. In the bottom of the sewing box there are more beautiful hand-painted blossoms and an attached pincushion.  I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway.  I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a comment telling me which item you like best.  Feel fr

Save the Stitches Finished!

 I finally finished my "Covid Project"!  I worked on Elizabeth Almond's beautiful blackwork sampler design, "Save the Stitches" for much longer than I would like to admit...  I have to say though that it was very satisfying every step of the way.  I have not been able to concentrate on stitching in any significant way for some time now due to chronic pain and the dullness that the pain meds cause but having finished this piece gives me hope for my stitching future.  I also love the framing which was lovingly done by MJ of "Art Effects" in High River, Alberta.

BAS - Week 79 - Feather Stitch Variations

I have about the next twenty BAS stitches scheduled and by happy coincidence this week's BAS is a series of Feather Stitch variations which coincide with this week's TAST stitch if you are following.  So, we can hit two birds with one stone!  These hardly look like feather stitch but they are.  They are created by making the "v"'s of the feather stitch vertical on the inside.  Very simple to do but a different look to an old stitch.  The second variation is created by doing two feather stitches at a time on each side, again making sure the inside of your "v"s are vertical and line up as much as possible. Same thing again in this one except they are in series of three.  To me these have the look of stitching on old crazy quilts so they are nice to add to your stable of stitch variations.  Hope you  enjoy them and have fun!
