I finally completed two of my WIP
(Works In Progress) quilts.
One is a scrappy quilt - have to use
up those scraps!
I have 3 boxes filled with strips of all sizes.
Did you notice what happens when you use
your scraps? They seem to multiply..
I now have scraps left over from my scraps.
It like never ending.......
One complete! This will be quilted by a member
of my Guild - Kim. Can't wait!
The second completed quilt is Wonky Cat Stars.
This was made with left over scraps.
This Fons & Porter ruler is
great for cutting out Half Square Triangles!
If you would be interested in learning how
to make Wonky Stars - Victoria at Silly Boo Dilly
has a wonderful step by step tutorial.
Click HERE for the tutorial.
Layout - I had lots of strips left so I decided to add
some sashing.
These blocks are addicting - once you start you can't
stop.
I just love this little kitty fabric!
I just love the color combo on this quilt - as a
matter of fact I think it's the 3rd one I did.
So now it's time to Stop! This quilt will also
be quilted by Kim.
On the right side bar you will see the new
BOM by Dawn - it's called Folk Art Tribute.

and it will take you to Dawn's first pattern.
I am 3 blocks behind but catching up! I have
block #1 all cut out and pinned. I'm using
what ever I have in my stash - so not sure
what it will look like.
I had a bolt of white fabric but didn't think it
would look appropriate for that folksy look -
so I tea dyed about 3 yards.
This is Block #2 all cut out - I have this fabric for
about 3 yrs. so about time I'm using it!
After I finished my Landscape Quilt from my
Quilty buddy Kathi's class (What fun!) I decided
to use some left over fabric to make my first
postcard.
I got the image from the Graphics Fairy - see my
sidebar on the right. I did some practice free motion
embroidery on it. Kind of halloweeny looking (-:
Lancaster is fast becoming an very Artsy place!
Please bare that in mind if you come here for
a vacation.
My first visit to ---
To leave the area; you had go ride through the
cornfield. A real experience for a City girl!
