Ironing board finds


I cleaned off my ironing board this week (it's 2 x 4 so it holds a lot of stuff) anyway these are just a few of the treasures I found. The kitten postcard just needs a backing and edges finished and that will be good to go. The purple post card, not sure why it go buried other than I guess I was waiting for a little inspiration. The Dotee doll is ready to be adopted and the Artist Trading Card is an abstract one that I didn't know where I was going with it, since I don't really do abstract.

Stella and Bella


Here are two more Dotee's for the exchange. I thought I would do a mother-daughter duo. I'm not sure if I will split them up or keep them together.

Karen's Round Robin

This is the block when I received it.

Close up of my work.

The block in it's entirety.
Here is another block for a round robin. I added a tatted butterfly, keeping with the tatted heart theme. I also did a feather stitch with beads, added a seam treatment of silk ribbon flowers and leaves and added beads. Then topped it off with a wreath heart done with lazy daisy stitches and added flower beads and more beads.

Bird ATC


This is my latest artist trading card for a bird swap. This bird is printed on fabric, then I needle felted around it and added beads.

Violet


This is a Dotee doll from Judy, my swap partner at Stitching Fingers. I sent her a doll named Violet and she sent me a doll named Violet, kind of spooky isn't it.
