I sat down after lunch today and finished assembling my little crazy scissor case from the TIF challenge block I made. It morphed from an MP3 player pouch because the foundation square was too small, that'll teach me to plan better !! I'm quite pleased with it actually, only my second ever CQ block made (the first was a kids' workshop project scroll down to post for picture.)
The photos show the front, back and the inside of the project with my "best" embroidery scissors beside it. I found a co-ordinating cotton fat quarter in my stash of small florals which I'm using for 2 different hand pieced quilt WISP's. I think I might have overdone the beading a bit, and the beaded tassel is not so practical, but a girl has to have pretty things around her all the time, doesn't she, LOL? The scissor case measures 18.5 cm including the tassel and is 11 cm wide at the top. I think I used a stitch called football stitch to join the front, must look that one up to confirm that, VBG. Bob the Quilting Cat and I look forward eagerly to the first of February for the next challenge.

You must have a great feeling of double accomplishment -- what a great idea to use for the block! Lovely, lovely

I think it's lovely and in my opinion you can't have too many beads!
Very nice !
Beautiful work!
It is very nice. Doesn't look at all over beaded. Wonderful.
Too many beads? Is that possible? It's absolutely breathtaking.
Congratulations on completing your TIF piece. It's beautiful.
Loevely! Congratulations for finishing your TIF so pleasantly.
I love seeing CQ blocks made into things to be used! Thanks for sharing, it is a beautiful piece and a great idea!
I love this! It looks fantastic. Congratulations on finishing....I've only just published my first post on the Challenge!
Beautifully done - love the what you came up with. :)
I think the stitch you used for your seam may also be called Fishbone Joining Stitch - found it in my copy of the Needlework Development Scheme publication - And So to Embroider. I'll put a copy of it on the Flickr group.
It's wonderful!
This is lovely, congratulations.
Pretty! I like it a lot. And I love the fact that it's a finished "something" - great job!
