WIP completed

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.
If you would like to join just click on it
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 ---

Art on The Farm

I love this giant bug hanging from the ceiling!
And watching the Artist in action.
Beautiful works of art here and will surly go
back next year!

To leave the area; you had go ride through the
cornfield. A real experience for a City girl!

I found out about this wonderful project through
reading someone's blog. It is being organized
through a U.S. Army wife named Tia.
God bless her!
So, this is what I'll be doing all weekend.
I have 4 completed so far and several more cut out and
waiting to be sewn.

This block is called "Wonky Star" and it's the first time
that I ever tried it. Thanks to Silly Boodilly for her excellent step by step tutorial.

I'm using Laura Burch fabrics for the center blocks.
I love her fabric; they're all so colorful and down right
cute!

I hope that I have inspired you to do a couple of "easy"
blocks for this worthy cause. They go together very
quickly and it's a great way to use your stash! You
can also make it scrappy.
