New Class, 'Colorful Scrap Quilting', Quilt and Embroidery progress....

Orange with purple border...

Orange with turquoise border..

Satin stitch has been added...


What's up Thursday!

More satin stitch has been worked on my embroidery kit. I like satin stitch, when you work it enough you begin to get a feel for how the stitches should lay.

I finally pieced together the backs for the two twin quilts that have been waiting impatiently to be finished. They both have a lot of orange, one has a purple border and the other a turquoise border.
Today I'll deliver them to the local long-arm quilt lady to work her magic.

I've just signed up for a class 'Colorful Scrap Quilting' by Amanda Jean Nyberg, crazymomquilts
through craftsy.com.
I wanted to quilt along and have a goal to work towards. When I'm in a slump I need inspiration and Amanda has worked up a lot of great quilts with color I enjoy. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Happy Thursday, ever onward, ever upward!!

You are always surrounded by colour and beauty. The stripes and dots go so well together and the elegant embroidery is a good place to show off the satin stitch. I have to figure out how to do the Satin stitch on Aida for my TASTy Tuesday project.

Colour - glorious colour! It's always such fun to come and see what you've been working on. Satin stitch isn't the easiest to master, but it's perfect for so many applications. I've found that outlining the space with back stitch before working the stitch works really well to help keep it looking even.

Thanks, Mary Ann, I'll remember that. You're stitching is fabulous.
