<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our little miss turned 3 at the end of June. She has been telling everyone Ma was making her a blanket. We were still ill with the flu so the blanket was quickly made just in time for her special day. I used a granny square for the Centre of the blanket and continued to add rows until it was the size I wanted. It was so easy and quick to make. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I used a Caron cake for the centre of the quilt and added one 100 gram ball each of pink and cream. The reverse quilter made the fringing. We also gave her a little pink and purple handbag and popped some coins, some tissues and a chap stick in the bag. I am hoping she will stay out of my hand bag, last time I lost an expensive lipstick.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Every year we have our flu shots, but this year grand daughter got the flu and ended up with a chest infection. Of course Ma got the flu and laryngitis. Was very sick and two weeks after getting sick our grandson was born. There were some concerns about his kidneys, he arrived by Cesarean 3 weeks early and thank goodness all is well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Because I had laryngitis we have waited 2 weeks to see him. They came on Monday and he is so very sweet. At 4kg or a bit over 8 pounds he is a nice size to cuddle.This little fellow has been a joy for his parents. He has his feed and sleeps for 4 hours or more and cries quietly when he wakes . His sister had reflux and was a very unsettled baby, sleeping no more than an hour or two at a time and screaming with pain after each feed. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We have been living in the caravan while our renovations are being done.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was not all plain sailing I did manage to miss calculate the width of the strips I needed to cover the foundation square for a quilt I started.The blocks were smaller than I planned. After purchasing EQ8 I was able to incorporate the block size into a simple design and managed to get the majority of the strip blocks completed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Wow we have been having such a busy time. Before moving to Rockingham we purchase a house to move into. It was built in the 1970's,is double brick with 3 bedrooms and needed some work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Two weeks ago the renovations started with the enclosed patio and last week the kitchen was gutted and replaced. We are living in our caravan, all the bedrooms are currently storing our furniture and the kitchen will not be finished for another week. Hence no crafting</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">They say things happen in threes and that was true for us last week. On Monday the tiler was removing the tiles in the living area and managed to cut his finger badly with a jack hammer. On Tuesday hubby was watching the stone benches being put in and realised they had put the hole for the sink in the wrong place. It was up under a cupboard and very long arms were needed to reach it. When Hubby pointed it out it was a bit like watching an asian version of the Three Stooges. The three installers started talking very quickly to each other and there was lots of pointing and gesturing. A very long phone call was made, the bench was taken out quicker than it went in and returned to the factory. On the Wednesday our puppy chased a bee and had her third trip to the vets for antihistamine injection. Hmm she seems to be a bit slow to learn that bees sting. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I think one of the most wonderful things to happen is becoming a grandparent. Since our move across the country we are now close to our granddaughter. She is a sweet little girl with big smiles and happy nature. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When her uncle from her mothers side of the family got married she was flower girl. The Roses she carried were long stemmed and almost as tall as her but she managed to carry them and stole the show. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We attended the wedding and then babysat little miss. Before we went home we took her to have a ice-cream, all the groomsmen kept telling her if she sat still or stood still for the photos she could have ice-cream.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Having thought long and hard I decided on using the four patch blocks as the centre of a Log Cabin block. My wonderful husband "The Reverse Quilter" not only does the unpicking he also helps with the planning of my blocks. He made a 12" template for the block and has marked the length of each log along with the positioning of the light and dark strips</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After planning the Log Cabin Block the reverse he unpicked the quilt centre and trimmed the 4Patch blocks to 3.5 inch squares. They are now ready to be used as the centre of the log cabin blocks. I think I like him being in retirement.</span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My tastes change</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I loved the fabrics but they were not quite right for the project, </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Impulse buys</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The project was beyond my capabilities </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I ran out of enthusiasm for the project</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Did not have the required skills to complete the project</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Every time I came across the projects in the cupboard I felt saddened for several reasons.</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">All the time and creative process put into designing the projects</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The cost of the fabrics </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The time and effort to sew the projects to almost completion</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The thought of what I could have used the money for including more fabric</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">One of the three projects was made of scraps and a charm pack I was given as a Chris Kringle. The charm pack was not the type of fabrics I buy. The scrap has been sandwiched read for quilting</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> <a href="https://fieldatthepaddocks.blogspot.com.au/2018/02/scrap-busting.html">scrap-busting.html</a> </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The second is hexagon flowers intended for a Granny's garden quilt, I have managed to make 10 more flowers. 60 flowers of 100 are completed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">What to do with projects you know you will never complete?</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have sold them on eBay</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Donated tops to the QLD flood relief</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Passed one on within a craft group and was amazed at how good it looked when it was complete.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">How many UFO's do you have and what are your plans for them? I would love to hear from you.</span><br />

Some time it works but I am not always happy with the results.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here is one I am not so happy with, the heart blocks were given to me and I have added 4 patch and rail fence blocks. I am concerned that some of the fabrics are of the same value and there is low contrast.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You might be asking what this has to do with learning a little tip? I have a piece of fabric I want to use as the background and I am unsure how it would look with the fabrics I am using. After searching the web, visiting you tube and talking with others, one of the ladies in my craft group gave me a great tip.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you are unsure of your background fabric lay it on a table and place small squares of the other fabrics for the project on top of it.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You can see at a glance if your background fabric will work with the other fabrics you have chosen. I asked myself, do the fabrics stand out against the background and Is there enough contrast? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I can see the top right hand corner fabric is not a good choice, it does not standout and will leave dull uninteresting areas in the quilt. I am glad I was told this tip it would be a great way to choose contrasting fabrics for scrap quilts.</span></div>

I chose to keep three WIPS and I had several grocery bags of scrap along with some charm squares I received from a Chris Kringle. I did not want to part with them but was unsure how to use them. </span><div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">I mentioned in my previous posts I am taking part in Take a Stitch Tuesday. A new stitch is announced every Tuesday to learn, practise and explore. </span><a href="https://fieldatthepaddocks.blogspot.com.au/2018/01/take-stitch-tuesday-and-bee-sting.html">https://fieldatthepaddocks.blogspot.com.au/2018/01/take-stitch-tuesday-and-bee-sting.html</a></span></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I started doing a single row of each new stitch and I quickly came to the conclusion it is really not my style. Single rows of each stitch reminded me very much of our needle work classes at school and I can still see the cross stitch on gingham everyone made. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When my grandmother and mother were young Semco mass produced printed embroidery designs on good quality linen. The instructions told you what colours to use and the stitches were limited to basic stitches. To complete one of these embroidery designs took many hours of work and crafters now collect them to incorporate into new pieces of patch work and other crafts.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I enjoy a variety of crafts and become excited about new techniques especially if I can combine them with crafts I am already enjoying. Crazy patchwork is one of these techniques, combining patchwork with free form embroidery and embellishments. No rhyme and no reason to what you are doing I think the only aim is to cover all seams with embroidery and or embellishments</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I enjoy both of these forms of stitching but I think my passion is for free form art quilts. I will continue with the lines of embroidery stitches on the first piece for Take a stitch Tuesday and make a second piece using the stitches in a free form way.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have spent time this week looking at Textile art and found lots of inspiration on Pintrest <a href="https://www.pinterest.com.au/mayfield5556/textile-art/">https://www.pinterest.com.au/mayfield5556/textile-art/</a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Which style do you prefer or do you have a passion for one type of embroidery?</span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">While we were living at the little house on the hill I was working on a quilt for my daughter. She is legally blind without her glasses and wanted a bright quilt. I designed a simple quilt on EQ7 and included bright batik fabrics.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Each hexagon was to be made using strips of batik fabrics and when finished appliquéd to a background fabric. Sounds simple? hmm not so simple. I don't know if it was the hexagons, my sewing or my brain injury but I just could not get them right. My other problem was the background fabric was a little bland neither of us liked the blocks very much. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fortunately we discovered this early on so changes could be made. While looking at homespun on line I asked The Reverse Quilter his opinion and against my better judgement I ordered the fabric he liked, it was bright boy was it bright. I change the hexegons for circles and appliquéd them to the fabric he choose.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In the end I was surprised how it turned out and Regan loves it. Some times we need to trust our instincts and others choices.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I started writing this post yesterday evening but had to rush away because our sweet little Suzee was stung by a bee or a wasp somewhere on her face. Her poor little face became swollen within minutes and she started to vomit. We made a dash to the emergency vet hospital and the vet administered an adrenaline and an antihistamine injection.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When we got home we stayed with her until midnight and gave her an antihistamine tablet before going to bed. This morning her face was still swollen and she required another antihistamine tablet before it returned to normal. Suzee is only 4 months old and is still so little. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I love Crazy Patchwork and part of the enjoyment is learning new stitches and revisiting old ones, to help me do both I have joined TAST an embroidery skill building group run by Sharon over at Pintangle <a href="http://pintangle.com/">http://pintangle.com</a> </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Each Tuesday Sharon announces a stitch of the week and how you practise the weekly stitch is entirely up to you. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The first few weeks covers easy stitches and over the weeks the stitches become harder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Week one was running stitch and this week it was buttonhole stitch.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I enjoyed the running stitch for the first week but realised I needed a different project to incorporate the rest of the TAST stitches. I dug through my fabrics and found a piece of patchwork I had stitched to use for a tote. I have added both the running stitch and the buttonhole stitches to the piece and I am looking forward to Tuesday to find out what the next stitch is. At the end I will have a crazy patch piece I can turn into a tote.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wow a lot has happened in 2017. After the loss of hubby's father and both of my parents we sold up the Little House on the Hill and I closed the Little House on The Hill blog. Hubby has retired from work and we have moved to Rockingham in WA, Woo Hoo we had our first Christmas with our granddaughter.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our grand daughter is old enough to understand Christmas and it was time to make a stocking for her. I made her parents one each and they hang them every year.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I wanted to make her a stocking she could use for many years and was special for her. I gathered all the Christmas fabrics from my stash and tried to decide which ones to use. I ruled out any fabric that were to babyish or masculine. In the end I chose 11 different fabrics including some with snowmen, stars and hearts along with some plain fabric.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had not unpacked completely and I could not find my pattern. Not to worry I purchased one of the few stockings left in the spotlight and used it to make a pattern. To get size I wanted I pinned the Spotlight stocking to calico and adding two inches.</span></div>

Pintrest has some great crazy patchwork examples and <a href="http://pintangle.com/">Pintangle</a> is a blog to go to for inspiration</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When embellishing crazy patchwork the idea is to cover every seam. I used several hand embroidery stitches including, stem, herringbone, lazy daisy, buttonhole, french knot and straight stitch. Other seems were covered with different embellishments such as ribbon, braid buttons and beads. A great place to find embellishments is in the jewellery section of stores like Kmart, Target and BigW. The metal bells and wreaths on the stocking are from Christmas earrings.</span></div>
