Well it's been a couple of jam packed months but I am back. I attended my second Crazy Quilting International Retreat and it was a blast! Words cannot express the wonderfulness of these women. I will have to devote another post to that because I am bursting at the seams to show off my new creation. Last year I went to Goodwill with my BFFs, Cathy and Bev and saw this:
One of two sad little shoes that had seen much better days and were well past their glory. I felt sorry for those shoes so I took them home. They sat with me for an extremely long time, but the heel of the shoes intrigued me. I took the shoes apart and decided to crazy quilt them. Seemed easy enough right? First, I made a template of the top and cut out pieces of white fabric to use as my base for my cq and then it sat for another long time. Fast forward to our visit in Texas, where I found a black and gold scorpio cameo. That came home with me as that is my sign. So put it all together and you get this:
I am so happy with my little shoe now! I did so many things I have never done before, beaded a rivoli, soutache, a little ribbon flower and used ice resin.
See you next time and be sure to do something you LOVE today.
Susan
