I have been making some more CQ purses so thought the readers might like to see them.

The insect is my adaptation of a design my Lesley Turpin-Delport, featured in Inspirations Magazine. It was added to a round robin garden block owned by Laura Watson of Seattle WA.

I made these two works a few years ago. As you see, I used different stitch combinations for each seam. At that time I wanted to learn basic stitches very keenly.

A mini quilt: Most fabrics are silks. Threads are silks for machine emrboideries.

Tea Cosy: Fabrics are cottons. Pearl Cottons and ribbons for embroidery.
