Hello Quilt Friends!
Back to business as usual here after several days of relaxing and loafing around.
I entered 3 of my quilts in the Washington State Fair which starts August 30 and goes for about a month. I like the idea of sharing inspiration maybe getting someone interested enough to try their hand at designing a quilt. The fair has always been exciting and inspiring for me from home textiles to livestock.
And I saw Debbie's Improv Chair Blocks aquilterstable.blogspot.com, and I had to give them a try. So I drew some ideas on paper then cut some experimental pieces out and stitched them together and came up with some blocks I liked, which I pieced into a panel. Now I'll admire them for a while before I make any lasting decisions.
That is the news from the valley. Been on any vacations lately?
I'll be by to visit!
LOVE YOUR CHAIRS! ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh I just visited Debbies blog around 10 minutes ago, her quilt fascinated me, loved the chairs and now see that you also have been sewing up chairs - so interesting, were they tricky to make?
ReplyDeleteThe chair blocks are not difficult, I made up some chairs on paper and that helped me figure measurements and what I needed to cut and then I used my rulers!
