Wednesday work in progress

These are the little purses that I'm doing for Christmas gifts. They are just waiting to be framed.
A lot of work, must be ready 'til monday!

Work finished

I don't think I'll post a work every week for the Wednesday work in progress, but of course I am allways doing something( but not allways I can finish). I finally received the purse frames. Here is my work finished. Now I can do so many purses! I'm selling them on my Elo7 store.

Work in progress

This week I'm trying to finish my little purses project. I've done some and I'm waiting for the frames to arrive. It is fine to share with you my works in progress .

   I also made 3 like this

This Saturday afternoon I spent doing some dying. I think that the colors are fine.
They are for some purse projects that I hope to begin very soon !

Last works

Dear friends, sorry by my absence. I have been doing so many things, so I couldn't continue TAST. I have done 3 bed quilts ( 1 is still on progress ) that I'll post next.

 I also made some crochet for my new ELO7 shop . It is like an Etsy shop from Brazil.
                                       
    Here my crochet creations

TAST week 18

This TAST Week 18 is crossed buttonhole . It is beautiful for crazy quilt seam treatements.
It is cute flower seams.

TAST week 17

The TAST week 17 stitch is weathear stitch. I stitched mine with a hand dyed thread on my Aida sampler. I didn't know the stitch and I find it will be very useful for my crazy quilts.

TAST WEEK 16

This Tast week 16 stitch is French knot. I was finishing my pebble adding many of these. It is a good stitch to fill these spaces.

And  after adding all that french knots and beads. 

Hand dyed threads

This week my friend Anne from Canada sent me a tutorial from Pamela Kellogg's blog teaching how to hand dye silk ribbon. I found it so nice because it is very simple. Sharon Boggon also left a post telling how she does her dyeing on Pintangle and a post about how to skeining threads to dye.
 I had  already watched a video about how to hand dye yarn. It is a very good video.

After all I decided to try what I 'd learned. I decide to dye some floss. and here are my results:

After dyeing and dry the threads on the line I had a little work organizing. After all the work  done:

    If you have a hand dye tip, or a link to share please leave your comment.

TAST week 12

The stitch for this week is barred chain and alternating barred chain.
I found it very useful for vines, seams, very good to add beads and little flowers.
I have made it on my Aida sampler.

 I was updating my Aida sampler and want to show you my buttonhole stitches from week 2
This is one of the most useful stitches.

 And my sampler is getting longer...

Satin ribbon and a seam

This week I've tried some satin ribbon because in my country we don't have silk ribbons . These satin ribbons have beautiful colors and brigthness that I wanted to try. I did these spider roses .
After I did this seam using chevron and cast on stitch. I didn't finish yet.

TAST week 11 and my pebble

The last two weeks I have been doing my pebble. As all the girls said it is addictive! I couldn't even stop to do the running stitch, the TAST week 10 stitch. But I'm lucky because the week 11 stitch is whipped wheel and I was just finishing mine when Sharon announced it! Take a look:

And this is my unfinished pebble.  There is a lot of work to do !!!!

Today I updated my Aida sampler. I did some more wheels
