In the Beginning Fabric too pretty to cut up


.
The Totally Triangular pattern is good for big prints. I really like Jason Yenter's fabric it feels like silk, not cotton. I added a close up picture of this fabric, my first photo didn't really show how cool this fabric is.

Basicgrey quilt using dunkards path rulers




I just finished this quilt and was amazed how easy it was. I used one pin at the beginning of each seam and the rest was controlled by how you hold the fabric. I can't find any bad seams....oh so cool! The only bad thing about this quilt was having to cut up the cool fabric.

Jenny Haskins Heritage BOM


I have finished the next heritage block. It went together nicely, except I embroidered the small roses directly on the block. Sewing and cutting them did not work so well. Practice your free motion skills for class. Look for my email this week.

My new porch fan


I finally had some free time today.... I started my porch project. Check out my new fan blades. I can hardly wait to make pillows to match. I plan to go to the paint store this week and match one of these colors and paint my table. I have already made the Delhi quilt for my loveseat. Maybe by the end of June my porch will be complete.
