What Is Your SuperPower Blog Hop

Published on by Bumbleberry Stitches

 Hey there! Welcome to another wonderful blog hop. Thanks Mdm Samm of Sew We Quilt and Pauline of Quilt n’ Queen for all their hard work.

Also to our awesome sponsor DMC Threads.

In deciding which Superpower to reveal (I have a few….lol), I decided that I should focus on my love and ability to stitch. I learned to embroidery actually from watching my mom. She didn’t teach though me, I guess she didn’t have the patience. I ask too many questions. When I was around 19-20 I decided to teach myself to cross stitch. My very first project was one of those little $1 cross stitch kits. This was my second project:

I still have it after all these years and notice it’s not finished, lol. It will probably never get finished. That is because I’m the Queen of unfinished projects. I guess that isn’t one of my Superpowers. I’ve been working hard to change that.

Anyway during those 20′ something years I began to build my stash of DMC threads.


The pink container was the first and out grew that.

So now on to my project. I decided make an embroidery wall hanging and I used a pattern transfer from Aunt Martha. My mom always used iron transfers. I found the perfect design that I think represents me.

So here is my project I feel represents my Super Powers:

I used all scraps from my fabric stash. It was fun adding new ribbons, lace, and buttons to my existing stash. I paper pieced the crazy quilt design from a block in EQ7

Yes, the bumblebee is a symbol of me and all my abilities. He is the ultimate at home worker.

  11. I love the polar bears, do you know the name of the pattern for it? My aunt owns an ice cream parlor/soda shop that that motif would fit in perfectly! And I totally sympathize with the desire to stay home and work, I feel ya. Thank you for sharing, you are definitely a Super Stitcher!

  21. What a beautiful piece of stitchery. You are very talented and I am impressed that you pulled things from your stash to use. Your palette is one I am noodling around in my head right now. I have a focal fabric–ivory with tea cups–and a couple of coordinates. Still noodling, still noodling. I like your crazy patch approach and I may start at the center and work OUT, like you did.

  35. When I started cross stitching eons ago, I bought those floss bags and 4 of each color DMC made. I had quite the floss stash after a good while… because 4 of each color grew to a bag full of each color. lol

    LOVE your crazy quilt piece!
