Texture Challenge Progress! And New Member, Yes!

This is the 'canvas', hand quilted diagonally.

Stitches and embellishments have been added and still more to come.

Here's my intro;

Hi, I'm Janie and art, color, sewing and fabric have always drawn me in. I enjoy learning and teaching different techniques. I think a good teacher learns more than her students. 

Crazyvictoriana.blogspot.com is where I blog and share color/quilt ideas and process.

Why did I name my blog Crazyvictoriana? That's easy, I was very much enjoying crazy quilting at the time and the Victorian era was so rich in textiles and amazing handwork, the two just go together as far as I'm concerned.

I live with family on the West Coast, the Pacific Ocean is a big inspiration for me.

I'm looking forward to participating in some of the Endeavorers' challenges, thank you for

letting me be part of it.

And this is my progress on the texture challenge. For me embroidery is a good way to show texture, so that's what's happening here. Now my stitch hand is really unhappy and I need to slow down. I used Robert Kaufman 'Essex' for linen texture and some smooth Kona cotton solids in snow and ice peach in the squares of the 'canvas'.

I'm looking forward to seeing your projects.
