W.I.P.'s for Wednesday

I have a little to share this Wednesday.
I did get the crazy patch quilt put together now to work on the backing and get it quilted. It will finish around 75 x 92 inches

ready to make into a quilt.....
sure is crazy how much folks love
to curl up with these quilts

I have only the binding to work on with my flower tile with 3-d Applique. I think I will add a little more shading to the leaves on this one and will try another one later.

While out side yesterday this young robin was out checking for worms.

                                                                    a little visitor
We also have a nest just outside one of the bedroom windows with 3 little ones just getting their feathers, right now they just have some fluff. We will be watching for them to be checking out the back yard.
Well that's all for now, Thanks for stopping by.
Wishing you all a great day with a few stitches to keep us happy.
I'll be linking up with Monika  , sew stop over and see what everyone else has been up to.

Loven' Lace

Wednesday was Lace Lovers Bra Class
We were given instructions on how to do a variety of different styles of   lace embellished bras. The hardest part was to choose one and get started.

my first lacey bra from class

I chose to put lace in half of the upper cup as well as in the bridge of the bra. I also added the internal power bar ( power shield as I call it ) which gives a little extra support on the side of your bust.
I picked up a few extra kits sew that I can make a few more.
 One of the kits is a nice bright red..... I thought I would support heart and stroke with my red bra, under my t-shirt of course, as I ride the big bike later this month to support them.

I am linking up with The Needle and Thread Network with Monika
 a couple more from other makers

thanks for stopping by

Just a start on classes

Today I start class three that I had booked at the Saskatchewan Stitches Conference. Lace Lovers Bra class.

learning a block and how you can use it.

I have taken a Mary Ellen Hopkins Technique class with Dianne Jannson and  a Square in a Square class with Jodi Barrows. Both were very good classes and with a bunch of great ladies.


Liz's Gift Blocks
also know as
 Bridal Veil Quilt
as made by Jodi's Great Grandmother
 ( I think I have that right ... could have been her grandmother)

Today's lace lovers bra class will finish up on Wednesday

                                                        an inside look at the make up of a lace bra
 I have one more class booked but have not decided if I will get to it.
My hubby is home recouping and I feel that I should be near just in case he needs any help. I have found it  hard to keep focused on the classes but it is getting better. And hubby seams to be doing pretty good.
Well that's it for now.

EQ 7 Summer Draw Along

Well today is the day for the posts and link up for the Summer Draw along.EQ 7 Summer Draw Along
I  have the first block done and made up.

I have worked on the 3 variations and will work them up soon. I missed the post at mid month that had the variations .... something to note for next month. It has been great practice in using EQ7.
I do have a tip for piecing the little outside half square units.
I cut mine at 2 1/2" instead of 2 3/8" and then trimmed them down to 2"units. There was not much trimmed off , and they were nice and square.

Having fun making the button for the side bar...... not. I'll keep working on it and maybe I will remember what I did the last time.

Bags are packed and still on the fence about the stitches conference this year...... just waiting for a phone call to see what I am to do.

 

Pop over to the EQ7 blog to see the other blocks created this month.

Watrous Art Show

                                                           My space in the show

Well this week here in town we had an Adjudicated  Art show. I was asked if I would like to display a few of my quilted creations.After thinking about it for a few days I thought why not. I had to finish a couple smaller pieces to have the 5 required items to be adjudicated and with that done I sent in my submission.
I entered Jewels of the Night, Holding On, Star Fish all that I have posted in the past and then I finished Summer Jewel and Spring's Promise. Star fish and Summer Jewel are both Blue Printing Cyanotype and Springs' Promise is Sun Printing.

 

 

I have found that I enjoy tiring new was to play with fiber and painting is differently one of them. I had fun adding beads to these three as well , just a little extra dimension.
Sew with out further adieu here are a few pics of my entries.

Hope you like  my little show
