3rd CLOTH

I am finished with the 3rd. cloth and have learned a tremendous amount and have really enjoyed myself. A nice change for me from cq and all the colors.

The whole cloth is finished except I have the lace in the upper right corner not sewn down yet. It is a continuation piece of the pretty piece sewn on the cloth. I actually bought this from someone I did not know at the Connecticut retreat last year. It had 2 very pretty ends and then narrowed in to a long piece about 4" across. was a beautiful piece and hated to cut it. You will see in the pics that I showed it going 2 different ways. I have decided to have it go to the corner and then will sew it and the little puff down.

We start our new class next week with Karen Ruane of Contemporary Embroidery. If you are not aware of her blog do yourself a treat and go see her wonderful work. words cannot describe. http://www.karenruane.blogspot.com

Your cloth is stunning and I love all the different laces and stitches. You are right...I don't think the photos do it justice. Blissful stitching...

A beautiful piece of work. I love the way that all your stitching integrates the pieces.

Freda, this is just beautiful! The work you have been doing is exceptional and I understand what you mean about it being a nice break from teh riot of colour usually associated with crazy quilting.
Karen is an exceptional artist and I think you have learned very well!
