The detail:
This detail is probably a favourite stitch of many crazy quilters. It is two lines of feather stitch that have seed beads attached to the arms of the stitch.
These lines cover two seams that sit either side of fabric piece 2 on block 24 of the “I dropped the button box” quilt.
What is the story?
This regularly published series aims to illustrate and document the hand embroidered seams, embellishments and decorations on my crazy quilt I dropped the button box. All articles are categorised in the projects under Crazy Quilt details which enables readers to browse back through the series.
Free Crazy quilt block patterns
In the process of documenting the seam decorations on this quilt, as I get to each block I am diagramming it out for readers as a free crazy quilt pattern. Links to these free pattern pages are listed on the CQ details FAQ page.

I would also love tutorials on photo manipulation. Right now that is the most frustrating part of Tast2 for me…..I can stitch it, but I can’t take a decent picture of it.
Sharon,
I would personally love to see tutorial of photo manipulation. I am really a novice and would like to learn more about this.
