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.

  1. If anyone can put together 'odd' left over blocks it is you! I would be such a coward and add sashing and inner borders to keep them apart. I haven't got your eye for design, sigh!
    Your Ms Sunshine can make the sun come out on the rainiest of days!
    Hand stitching, yes, I am repairing/saving/nip-and-tucking the Crazy for Crazy quilt as it had begun to sag sadly.

  2. Puzzling blocks together is always a challenge. What a fun project tho! Hope you got a beautiful first day of summer yesterday, like we did up north!
