Wings Finished!

It's been over a month since I've blogged.  I don't blog about myself and my everyday life (who would care?)  We did go to see Cirque du Soleil (OVO) last night and if you get the opportunity to go, don't miss out.  It was fantastic!!  That said, I hope you'll understand that I can't always be turning out finished projects.  Please keep checking back.  I've been working on a challenge block which I can't show you right now.  I'm also involved in a RR as well as working on some ideas for An Adventure in Crazy Quilting coming up next April.

All four segments making up the wings for my butterfly are finished and I have started doing CQ "seams" on my black silk.  I've found that this is my all time favorite way to do all of the fantastic seam coverings and, though it's not for everyone, I just love the way it looks and how quickly it comes together.  I wish I had started whole cloth crazy stitching a long time ago and worked it along with pieced parts such as the butterfly.  I'm even thinking of revamping my CQ 2012 to use black as a background.....we'll see.
