QAYG

I just finished reviewing a blog called "The Quilting Edge".  The way she demonstrates and explains the directions are great!!!  I have done QAYG, but it included adding all 3 layers at the same time.  Turned out 'ok' but not like this one.  So in between re-upholstering my chair and making potholders, I am going to try this new (to me) technique.  Check it out! www.thequiltingedge.com

Back from being quilted!!!!





I have had the Bow Tie and Star quilt tops done for some time.  Okay a couple of years!!!  I guess in the shuffle of life I had them packed away in a box.  I will go through some misc. fabric tubs and see if there are some "UFO's" folded in between.  I will be a FINISHER this year!!!

Starting off the New Year right!!

Finally made myself a design wall/board.  I picked up some free 1/2" cardboard sheets from work and borrowed my daughters white fleece (I will tell her later)!!  But I have too much cardboard, maybe I will make my aunt or sister one. hmmm

Self portrait.

My next adventure is a self portrait I read about  from Craftgossip.com ( love that site).  Her name is Sandra Bruce.  I am in awe at the way she did hers.  I think I will  applique my first one until I can figure out the 'graphing' technique.
