working and progressing through the crazy quilt blocks

Sewing little stars and beads, working different stitches....

Thank you to Jan!

A gift :)  I did nothing to earn or deserve this beautiful gift - like God's grace and salvation!  He paid it all in full!  

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. 2 corinthians 9:15

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. james 1:17

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. romans 6:23

One Crazy Quilt Block

the first of twelve blocks is complete - here is a close up of a horse I embroidered, simply following the pattern already printed on the fabric - that made it easier :)

The theme for the blocks is Psalm 111, and I have printed out on cotton fabric all the verses.  The first block features the first verse.  I chose as the prominent pattern a light blue "toile" featuring carousel horses, which run off the carousel....

The blocks will each be hexagons.

I am presently working on the crazy quilt challenge for 2014, a block a month -
this is January's block in progress....

the return......

.....to blogging and embroidery and challenges!

it has been just a few months since the last post.......over 100 boxes (!) that had been in family storage for  13 years, were dropped off all at once, here at home in June.....OH MY!  this certainly interrupted my stream of blogging (slow stream though it was), embroidery, etsy listings, etc.!

The storage box unpacking, selling items on ebay, and general putting away continues!  but can I manage to continue blogging and embroidering too?  stay tuned :)

Here is the Crazy Quilt Journal Challenge block for June:
