I
had to hop up early Thursday morning (6/14).
Since I bombed on making my green strips for class at Scrap Happy, I had
to come up with something else to sew! I
saw a picture of a quilt I wanted to try on PINTEREST, so I got out my
patriotic fabric and cut enough colors to get me started. Since I’ll be making up the dimensions of the
pattern, I wrote down everything I did so that I will know how much fabric I
need when I do it in the future!
Well
– the class at SHQ was superior and I am back to being totally excited
by this project. I’m going to buy some
pressing strips (that may have to wait until August since FOUST apparently has
them for less $$$, but that’s ok as my additional beads should be in by then as
well. They had so many samples for the
class that were so beautiful….wish you all could have been there. There was
enough time after the class for me to get started on a new Quilt of Valor…I
didn’t get very far, but that’s ok. Show
and Tell was terrific (I'm sorry I have no time to write about any of these...the email sweep is happening in 16 minutes and I have quilt customers upstairs!!!):
And
when I got home around 2:30 I read a new library book for quite awhile :~).
Michael came home with chocolate cake slices for each of us in honor or
our neighbors birthday!!! And that
comprised MOST of my dinner! I spent a
bit of time after dinner getting the backing loaded for a new customer quilt,
before joining my honey to continue ripping fabric away from batting and
watching TV.
I am THRILLED to say that Anne
M, Arizona Mary, Linda M, and MJ are all in the running for the butterflies….although
MJ, you will have to have GIANT notecards if you win…the butterflies are approximately
10’’ across by 7’’ down!!!
I was thinking of dropping out of the butterflies after reading the other passionate comments! The comment I made that didn’t get through and prompted me to ask if it got through- was are they a set! I would love one but not sure what I could do with the others though just hanging them as
ReplyDeletea group is an interesting idea! I would appliqué one on a pillow. And I have that one picked out! So keep me in the running! AM💜💜🐾🐾
I really like seeing all the variations of the Loree quilt, especially the black and yellow.
