Over the last several months, I've finished stitching several embroidery designs - two from Gail Pan and three from Kathy Schmitz.
I've had plans in my head for finishing all of them, and decided this week that it's time to get those plans going! So this week, I picked one, added a little quilting on it, and then bound it.
All finished! I'm going to send it off to a quilty friend!

Also this week, I added a couple plus blocks to my collection. It's been fun to see these blocks popping up all over blogland, in all kinds of designs and color combinations! I'm including them in my Slow Sunday post because I'm definitely stitching them slowly, lol!
Cut a little...
Stitch a little...
And now I have 6 blocks!
Progress sometimes comes in bits and pieces!

Your positivity blocks are very pretty, are they all going to be red & white or are you going to have an assortment of colors? The little embroidered wallhanging is very cute, your friend will love it! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThe stitcheries are really cute. The blue bordered one will be a great gift for a stitching buddy. Your red and white Positivity blocks are bold and bright. Enjoy your stitching time this next week.
ReplyDeleteLove that embroidery project quilt! What a fun gift for a sewing friend.
ReplyDeleteDiann, your embroidery mini quilt is lovely. What a great gift to your quilty friend.
ReplyDeleteLove your Positivity blocks with red plus , they are really pretty.
Happy slow stitching!
That's a pretty border you chose for your embroidered mini - your friend should love it. Love the peek at the border for Bee Kind too! How many plus blocks will you make?
ReplyDeleteSo nice that you are finding time to finish up your stitcheries. When doing scrappy blocks it takes a lot more time in the cutting department!
ReplyDeletelove your embroideries and the plus blocks - plus blocks are all over the place right now aren't they!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative way to finish off your embroidery blocks! Such a precious gift! Cute positivity blocks!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish on the embroidery blocks and love the positivity blocks.
ReplyDeleteI love the embroidery! It looks so good, and what a nice little project. Lucky friend to receive such a nice gift. The positivity blocks are great, too. Progress does come in bits and pieces!
ReplyDeleteI totally relate to the bits and pieces mode of working. For me it is because I have a lot of irons in the fire at the moment - reading another post before this reminded me I haven't made any of my purple diamond blocks for June. Well darn it, June is almost over! Maybe today? Maybe not. Thanks for linking up - love both projects you shared today!!
ReplyDeleteThese are great blocks!! I like this color combo!!
ReplyDeleteYour embroidery projects are so pretty! Wish I would fit that into my sewing...right after all that time I set aside for knitting . Okay, maybe someday...! Good luck on the pos quilt! You know I love red!
ReplyDeleteGreat stitchery projects. I have a whole stack of Kathy Schmitz's I need to do something with! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLove the finish on your embroidery. Lucky Friend!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the scrappy background and how you change up the large squares in the corners! What a cool idea! Your embroidery is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun seeing all the pluses!! Love your red and low volume ones. Also, your embroidery. I so need a hand project right now. I hadn't thought of embroidery. I need to think seriously about this.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty little stitcheries, I'm sure your friend will adore her gift! Love those positivity blocks too, I must have a go at them sometime soon, I think.
ReplyDeleteJust a lovely embroidery gift!!
ReplyDeleteYour positivity blocks are really pretty...I like the reds with the varied backgrounds a lot...nice work hugs, Julierose
Your embroidery pieces are beautiful. I like the plus blocks also.
ReplyDeletePretty red blocks, Diann!!
ReplyDeleteLucky quilting friend. =) Such a pretty little stitchery. Love the fabric you used to skip around it. Lovely plus blocks, too.
ReplyDeleteOh Diann, knowing you I have no doubt that you will finish with time to spare. the flimsy isn't due till July 18 and the finished quilt is due on August 22. I am glad that you joined the QAL. Thank you so much and oh yes, I love the red and white blocks.
ReplyDeleteThe red and light is a winning combination! Good work on the stitchery blocks too! Finishing stitched items is a struggle for me! I’m trying to be a better, “finisher” !
ReplyDeleteLove the stitchery you just finished!
ReplyDeleteYou just never know when inspiration and motivation will strike!
Nice job on the embroidery finish. The Positivity QAL has been fun, hasn't it? I'm looking forward wo seeing all the finishes later!
