Needlework Tuesday - Still Scribbling on Fabric

I'm working on some of the nitty gritty handwork for the Scribbling women quilt.  I have selected two quotes from the book and am working at embroidering them.  I could have printed them on to fabric, but I want to keep that for contributions from other women.  I also felt that artistically it would be boring if all the text on the quilt was printed. I don't do a lot of embroidery, but I do find it relaxing.  I can either watch tv or listen to an audio book at the same time. 

On Sunday I took a small road trip with my daughter and two of her girl friends.  Our main destination was the Lindt out let.  Since the chocolates didn't last very long once we got home, I have repurposed this clear plastic box to carry my embroidery threads for this project.  The one that is laying on the fabric  is a really cool 12 strand metallic.  DMC colour number E130.  It will be wonderful to add some glitter and highlights.

I have had a few more women come on board this project with offers of their own 'scribbling', though still space for more.


Are you a needleworker?  You are invited to join here with me and my friends and share your project. Let me know what you're up to and I'll add your link.

You really want to pop on over to Lit and Laundry to check out the wonderful wips (works  in progress).  Another woman after my own heart; why have one project on the go when you can a half dozen.

Tami at Just One More Thing is joing for the first time as well.  She has posted about her plans to get back to her needlework projects which she admits have lain untouched for far too long. 

Visit both these ladies and leave them a message of encouragement.


Back to my stitching.
