CQJP 2014 October block - lazy dazy stitch

September block for CQJP 2014

For Sept. I chose the fishbone stitch.  It has always fascinated me, but I could never get it right.  Some people can do them so all matches and both sides are even.  By time I finished the whole block, it was starting to work for me, but it's still not my favorite stitch. 

August block for the CQJP 2014

For August I chose the coral stitch.  This is one stitch that I've always tried to make harder than it really is.  After filling in the whole block with it, I think I finally may have gotten the hang of it.  Still not my favorite stitch though.

It's the fly for July. 

    

The finished UFO for CQ for Newbies

It was over a year ago that we started the UFO RR in CQ for Newbies.  I sent my ugly block out to see what could be done with it.  I'd say these ladies performed a miracle.  It came back as a beautiful and fun mardi gras block.  As usual, it sat around collecting dust until one day I saw it and was inspired to finish it off.

Here is the original UFO.

This is the block after the ladies finished stitching.

This is the finished block.  I had some metallic gold fabric which I used for the frame.  Then added some extras to finish it off.  Come to Mardi Gras!!!

The CQJP block for June

The stitch for this month was the chain stitch.  I find that by doing a whole block in mostly only one stitch, I'm really becoming more "at home" with each stitch.

CQJP block for May

I had fun with the fern stitch for the month of May.
Thinking about the chain stitch for June.
