Hexagon Pattern One -US terms

This pattern was created to make a blanket for a girl that was attacked terribly. I wanted to do something special for her, so I created a group to make hexagons to be joined together to make a blanket

First I made this pattern. But decided it might be too much for every hexagon to be the same, and some people might find it too difficult. So I created another plain one. Pattern is here



This pattern is available to everyone for free. But I ask you not to share it, or claim it as your own, but feel free to share the link from here. I also ask you to please think about bullying, and the terrible effect it has on people, while making it

Crazy Quilting task 9

This time we made some woven roses

Here's mine

Crazy Quilting Task 8

This task was when we started some ribbon embroidery


The one for this task, is the iris. Such a beautiful flower



And here is mine:

Crazy Quilting task 7

In task 7 we needed to hand embroider the shaped seams

I love the look of it

Crazy Quilting

I was thinking I really need to do some more ribbon embroidery. It was so long ago that I'd done some

I decided to look around on the internet for inspiration, and stumbled across some online courses for crazy quilting

I'd never heard of this before. It involves sewing pieces of fabrics together, thread embroidery on the seams, then ribbon embroidery added, and so much more

I was ready to play

Each time we finish a task, we will be given another

Task 1, 2, and 3 was a bit of reading and learning, and choosing supplies. Then at task 4 we got to cut and sew the pieces of fabric together.

It took me a bit to figure out what was required. But then it clicked

It wasn't too even at first, so I un-picked the edges and straightened it out a bit




The next task was to show off some of the beads i had in my stash







Then I could start a bit of embroidery on some of the seams on my straightened out crazy quilt piece

Probably my favorite part was the french knot flowers (I think they're hyacinths)

Here's the link to the classes if anyone wants to do the other ones:  https://shawkl-classes.blogspot.com/
