Winter/Christmas block progress as of 4/8/2014

Crazy Quilt Angel Seam

My Take A Stitch Tuesday (TAST) stitches are the only progress I have made on this block this week.  Using the Looped Cretan Stitch, Detached Chain Stitch and adding a seed bead, I created the angel seam in the upper-right section. (Click the photos for a larger image.)

(Please excuse the little bug on the white section of the block.  I took the picture outside and did not see him until after his impromptu photo shoot.)

Be sure to visit Sharon Boggon's PinTangle blog to see what others WIPW projects have been shared!

GOALS

Although I do not have a lot to share you yet, it has been an incredibly busy week. (Nothing has been marked off my list, but at least nothing new has been added!  The second list is identical to the first - if you delete my progress comments that are listed in blue.)

Last week's goals:

1. The purse I plan to make with my CQJP 2014 January block All of the pieces are cut out now!
2. The 6 blocks I need to piece for the CQI Heart DYB Round Robin Almost -  I hope to share soon!
3. My block to embellish from the CQI Winter/Christmas DYB Round Robin (seen above)
4. The wall hanging I plan to create with all of my CQI Winter/Christmas blocks
5. My CQJP 2013 May block - better late than never?! (It is referred to as Block 4 if you follow this link.)
6. A crazy quilted hexagon to participate in my first swap with the World Wide Crazy Quilters Yahoo! Group
