Silk Ribbon Embroidery and Final Beading On My Crazy Quilt 101 Purse Is Done

It's pouring cats and dogs and I'm sitting here finishing the last silk ribbon embroidery flower and final beading detail on my Crazy Quilting 101 Artful Gathering 2012 class purse.

So far I'm very pleased with the way my purse is coming out. The next step is to add the lining, the cording around the side and top edges and the strap. As mentioned in a previous Linda's Blog post I'm going to add the lining and finish the purse a little differently than Pat's instructions called for.

Once the lining is done my purse will be finished. I'll be sure to take a picture so you can see the final results.

I've thoroughly enjoyed taking Pat's course. If you love crazy quilting and want to learn from a terrific teacher then you'll want to take one of Pat Winter's crazy quilting classes. She has definitely created a crazy quilting monster in me. Just don't tell hubby this! LOL LOL

Linda's Stories

I have written a LOT of stories since 2004 about my handmade gifts, my family and my childhood. So much so that at last count I was close to 250. YIKES!! That's a lot of stories. But, with a big family there's a lot of gifts and a lot of "stories" to tell.

Of course you have to keep in mind that these are "stories" and as such there may be a little exaggeration going on here or there. They are stories after all.

So, I decided to create a separate FAMILY label just to keep track of my stories. Just click here or click the FAMILY label in the categories box of my sidebar, Enjoy!

The History Of Faceless Dolls

The History of Faceless Dolls

I created a History Of Faceless Dolls .PDF. If you would like to download my History Of Faceless Dolls .PDF please click here or on the picture above.

I think you all know that I, personally, love faceless dolls. Victorians, primitives, colonial, prairie dolls, rag dolls, or country style dolls. It doesn't matter. I love them all.

In fact, I created a video to reflect my feelings about faceless dolls which is: "Beauty lies not only in what is seen, but what is imagined. I believe the essence of a dolls faceless beauty should determine her personality."

Please CLICK HERE or on the video below if you would like to view my "Linda's Faceless Beauties" video.

The Book & Crafts Review Corner

I just love books and craft kits. For the books I especially like books on crafts, craft making, dolls, doll making, sewing, handmade items, floral design, and history. I have a lot of doll and crafts books that I have bought over the years and I'm going to tell you about the ones I have. I'll be providing book reviews of the ones I like and tell you why I like them.

I also LOVE craft kits - especially punchneedle, wool felting, and cross-stitch. So, I thought I'd tell you which kits I've bought over the years and show you the results when I've completed them.

Plus, I might surprise you from time to time and throw in a few other things along the way. So, grab a cup of tea and stay for awhile.
