still trying to live a creative life, and this is a mention of this week's work... glad you're here!
the pic above is my latest finished embroidery. I learned to make tassel flowers, very wild and 3-d
more about the embroidery in a minute, but first my stay at home round robin nest row was slice into a block and insert a new fabric. It was a hard pain week so I took it easy on the creative front. I did a sliced insert in an X thinking it would look like a trellis... well....
it's too many lines too close for me but maybe this sewn row will fit in later??I used one of my Mary Englebreit prints
I made some blocks to try them out using my blue floral scraps (Kim are you listening?) (she inspired me with her flower pics at https://sarahlizzies.blogspot.com/
I like it! Imagine it with lots more floral fabrics!

I inserted a pretty iris scrap in the center, and tried out some borders
and it's okay but what about this larger scrap? this one just needs a pretty pink floral border I think. (It's easier to work small right now)back to my latest embroidery (a kit from Buscilla gifted to me from DH
I re-learned how to do a woven flower, filled lazy daisy stitch, I blended two shades to grade the ombre colored purple stem on the righttop-- light purple 3 strands, next two light one dark purple strand, next two dark purple and one lt purple strand, then 3 dark purple strands.
tried to put my initials on bottom but it' a blur
I finally got out paints and a brush to make DH (Mon Mari) a V-day card...
simple but says it all
and an older V-d quilt from several years ago

I love the embroidered flowers!
I just LOVE all the embroidered flowers you have done, especially the tassel flowers. They look so great! My embroidery skills back in the day (WAY back in the day) never got that fancy!
Your embroidery piece is really pretty! Love those tassel flowers! Your trellis idea with the sliced blocks is a very good one. I've been struggling with how to add that prompt so it's been good to see how others are interpreting it.
I really like the embroidered flowers!
Busy, busy as always. So fun to see all your projects. The flowers are awesome.

So many fun projects! I like what you are doing with the sliced block on your quilt. I think it will work!
So many colorful fabrics. Your embroidery really speaks to me. I love how vivacious it is. Darn, you've got my squirrel on the go. Also the lattice blocks with floral scraps is perfection.
I love your small pieces! The embroidery is beautiful, and so is your lattice piece with the florals. I read Kim's blog, too - she's so inspiring!
Your embroidery project is wonderful! Your SAHRR is shaping up too. I'm sorry you can't continue right now on the panel/criss-cross piece. It is really looking amazing!
I think your Engelbreit fabric sliced really does look like trellis. I like the blue piece also. Oh, your tassel flowers are exquisite. Love them! You were very creative during this crumby week. Hope your next week is better. I hurt more when it’s cold and damp. Sunshine is good!
Everything is so beautiful, and inspiring. I wish I'd done something for Valentine's day~ Maybe later on I'll get to making something.
I love all of your projects but your embroidery piece is really pretty!
I love to see texture and surface embroidery like this and yours are beautiful, LeeAnna. What a talented gal you are! Very sweet Valentines gifts.
You are living a wonderfully creative life. I do love your SAHRR and think the coping strip is nice with the trellis. I like it. I also like the play with the blue scraps and the embroidery is just lovely. Fringe flowers look like so much fun!
Your embroidered flowers are wonderful, love the 3D effect, and the ombre lavender's strands. Lovely trellis, it looks fantastic with the floral prints too. I hope that your week is going to be easier than the last one. Thank you for sharing your art.
Everything you make is just so beautiful
Such gorgeous embroidered flowers. My daughter has made me several embroideries. They are hanging in my sewing room. Your scrap pieces are fun too.
Oh ... I'm listening, and certainly looking!! LOVE those pretty blue florals peeking from behind the lattice. Just wow!! It makes my little floral heart sing. I'm loving the bigger blue frame just that little bit more. So much gorgeousness in this post LeeAnna. Pretty hearts, the SAHRR and the pretty embroidered flowers. I'm so sorry your week was a hard one. I think you are quite simply amazing. Xx
