Trying something new

Actually something very old. Crazy quilting. Kathy Shaw teaches online classes for crazy quilting . She starts you off with the beginning steps and work on a 8 x 10 inch block. You work at your own pace and can see what and where the other participants are doing. I will get the link for Kathy's blog see you can check out when she is offering it again...... you have to start at the beginning :-)       www.shawkl.com    is where to check it out
Here's my base block ready for the next lesson

Yesterday I finished up the flower girl dresses, ready for them to try on. Only 3 months until the wedding, I'm sure the time will fly by..

Have a great day.

Hugs and stitches

P.s.

Thanks Shelia for hooking me up with this great class

Runner revealed

Well I can reveal a mystery runner that finished up last month. Quilters Connection magazine had a mystery runner contest this winter. It was featured in the magazine as well as in there newsletter and blog. We have not heard who the winners are just yet.
I had fun working on it and look forward to using it this summer on the picnic table.

My runner with extra borders

Quilting detail from the backside.

I have also entered the Saskatchewan Stitches Conference 15th anniversary challenge. We had a challenge fabric  and also had to include a maple leaf in our creation
. I chose to paint my challenge fabric and create a scene. All the entries are on display at the gallery in Humboldt until the conference and then they will be at the conference.
Here's my entry
Tire Swing

My label also using the challenge fabric and another maple leaf.

TThanks for stopping by. I'm connecting up the       The Needle and Thread Network           stop over and see what everyone has been up to.

Oops quilt top done

And added to the stack of tops in waiting...to become quilts.

Even the border came from scraps.Leftovers from a double wide backing did the trick.
This is the quilt I am working on with free motion quilting.

And here is where I have started. I am taking my time as I try to plan out what I want to quilt as I go.

Feathers and petals sew far

TThanks for stopping in to see what I have been up to.

Have a great weekend. I think we will be enjoying some spring like temperatures and Sun shine.
