Here I am sitting in my twirly chair waving to everyone with the outer wrap of my hussif embroidered and beaded.
Click on the image and you will see a full view.
My last work in progress report on this project is here.
Now I have just the needle book cover to make and I will have all the parts of my sewing hussif embellished and ready to assemble. I will have nearly done my mini challenge.
For now however I will share some eye candy as the feedback I get on that tells me people enjoy it.
The first detail I would like to share is a trail of beads that cover a seam.
The next is a floral spray made with silk ribbon embroidery and of course I used my crazy quilt templates to mark out the stems.
The next detail illustrates another example of my templates in use as the scallops were traced then embroidered using stem stitch worked in a bright pink silk thread. The heart shapes are sequins secured with a seed bead.
If you click on any of the images you will see a larger version so you can have good look at wheat I have done.

I started a CQ when the Take it Further challenge was run on this your blog. I kept making blocks, and entered the quilt in my guild’s show last weekend. Blue Ribbon! Sharon, thanks for doing the Take It Further challenge

Oh Wow Marci a blue ribbon that is great news – I am scurrying over to see it now!
Marci, Congratulations! Your quilt is gorgeous!
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Your bead trails are wonderful! (Yes, I was shouting. Too much coffee?)
I have posted progress on my Elizabeth on my blog:

Not much, but she is looking better.
Thanks Beth – congrats on reducing your stash bit by bit
As always, your work is stunning. Thanks for sharing it with us! You can see my bead journal project for Sept. at http://princessbubblescreates.blogspot.ca/2014/09/work-in-progress-wedmesday.html
Scrumptious work, Sharon.
I’ve made some progress adding embellishments here http://crazyvictoriana.blogspot.com/ .
Remember to enjoy something beautiful today!
Sharon, your hussif is gorgeous! I love the eye candy. Do you remember where you found the heart sequins?
I finished adding names and states to my Winter/Christmas Wall Quilt. This week, I get to gather the courage to tackle the next idea I have in mind.

HI Renee I took a look at your blog – and you to do list!
Your Hussif, in those lovely jewel tones, is achingly beautiful! I really need a Hussif, but need to be working instead on a private commission CQ quilt. It is in cream colors, so your lovely Hussif is so refreshing to my eyes!! Beautiful is such an inadequate word!! Xxx
Hi Cathy thanks – I know what you mean about working in one colour and wanting to look at something else. One of the reasons the hussif is so bright is because I had just done a quilt (not yet assembled) in muted tones
Again thanks for sharing the eye candy! It’s going to be a heavy hussif with all those pretty beads!
Here’s my progress for this week:

Annet I had to laugh all my stuff is heavy with beads – its like I think they will fly away without a bit of weight to them…
Waving back, Sharon!
Your colourful hussif is a treat to the eyes.
Here’s my miniscule progress:

Here’s hoping I get more done this coming week!
Hi Elizabeth miniscule progress is better than nothing!
What a coincidence. I have just finished embroidering a Hussif and in the instructions I need something called “Templastic” to give it the round shape. Here in Spain I haven’t been able to find it but I am going to a craft fair in October in Toulouse, France and I will try there. Do you use this in the making up of your hussif or do you use something else?
Can you help me?
Thank you,
Gillian
HI Gillian – I think here in Australia we call it quilters plastic becasue you make quilting templates from it. I dont use temp plastic for stiffening the hussif – I will use batting
I would like to share my first hand-embroidered crazy quilt.

Thanks for looking.
Pat
Oh Pat fantastic finish – I hope everyone takes a look
Your hussif is growing more beautiful for each time you post a progress report. I have never seen lace decorated with a trail of beads like the one you show.
I have made progress on my various projects, too.

Thankss Queenie it is a while since I have done bead trails – they take time but they are fun
Finally a bit of progress but still a long way to go.
