Life has been busy but at least I have managed to complete this block this week. So I can declare that
I have completed block 34 for my next crazy quilt.
As usual if click on the block you can see a larger version and I have a few details of the stitching to share as well. I hope readers enjoy seeing what I have done.
You will find all the other blocks in this series the Lace Quilt category
Have you enjoyed this? If so you may be interested in a tutorial I have written on how to work decorative crazy quilt seams. The tutorial is a comprehensive tutorial that I converted to a pdf file (a link to the download is in the article. When I converted it I realised how comprehensive it was. At 19 pages of information it is a resource worth investigating! No sign up or anything required its a free resource without strings.
Have you seen my book?

I really like this. I love the way you’ve made the embroidery complement the fabric not just have it as an excuse to do it’s own thing. I really like your taste.
I have been an observer of your work for sometime now and I must say this crazy quilt is so very beautiful. I am a quilting beginner and am fairly good at embroidery. I am itching to start a quilt like this…thanks so much for the inspirations
The hearts are an eye-catcher, gorgeous!
I love the roses in the hearts!
My whip isn’t so pretty–a first attempt at a crazy quilt something. My guild is working on pumpkins and it has taken me all spring to do the first panel!

Hello Sharon, I’ve been a lurker on your blog for some time. Your inspired and inspiring works have given me an interest in samplers – but as an observer only, their WOW factor is beyond my ability. The photos of antique European samplers at http://www.francetv.fr/culturebox/des-tresors-de-broderie-anciennes-a-la-bibliotheque-forney-136057 reminded me of your Love of Stitching band sampler Especially items 04/05 from 1897 – called ‘Remembrance of my Youth’ . Mmm – wish I could do that!
Val I have just taken a look at this link thanks so much for letting me know as I have just spent a lovely “coffee break” looking at the images. Google translate helps too!Wish I could get there before the exhibit was closed …
Wow, Sharon! This is ECXEPTIONALLY beautiful. I love the delicate embroidered hearts with the elegant seed beads.
On my ‘kafferepet’ quilt I am serving up some cup cakes:
