Quilt News; This and That, Sampler Quilt Design Starting, Miss Sunshine and Happy Friday!

I like the Ohio Star block in the left upper corner.

Maybe this arrangement in the middle?

My Granddaughter, aka Miss Sunshine!

Here she is practicing her scrapbooking skills.

 

Start on interviewing with left over blocks, scraps and this and that.

More what if.....Do I really want that medallion in the upper left corner?

What if I left that out and then added something else?

This is going to take a while, but that's okay.

 

 

Quilt news from the rain forest, today blue sky peaked out!

There has been arranging and piecing going on as I want to use up as many spare blocks and pieces as I can find. And what is the goal here? Well, to stay busy and keep my mind off the weather mostly.

Now where is that hand stitching project?

Make sure and read Big Stitch Quilting by Carolyn Forster, so much basic inspiration!

And here is a terrific book for modern hand embroidery and crazy quilting etc by Sharon Boggon, Creative Stitches for Contemporary Embroidery.

 And that is the quilt news from the valley, where I'm remembering to be thankful. And enjoying my grandchildren.

How are your projects coming along? Any hand quilting? I'll be by to visit.

Quilt News! Happy June, New Scrappy Improv Quilt Top Photos, Three Pinwheels in Neutrals

 

 

Quilt News from the valley!

 

 And it's June the month summer officially starts and pollen is giving me itchy eyes and sneezes. 

I finished my new scrappy improv quilt top, Three Pinwheels. And, good news, most of the technical issues, that were not allowing me to download photos onto my blog, have been resolved. Yey!

My new scrappy improv quilt is made of orphan blocks and scraps from other projects. I like to use up scraps that way for piecing and design practice. As I said in my last post, that I would get the photos of the finished top posted soon, and here they are.

And a reminder when improv piecing, to myself, Measure! and add on if a piece is too short.

Don't disrespect the fabric and try to cludge, it shows every time.

 

There's always something to be thankful for.

Have a great day and I'll be by to visit.
