This weeks has been a very busy busy painting week. Oh, don't get me wrong, I still did some quilting. I have two blocks left on my cat on the farm hand sewn quilt...
See that top corner? That's the two left. It's a queen and it's scary how big it is, and all that hand sewing.
I finished the one below for donation. A Scrap sew along from Meadow Mist. Her pattern called Looking Glass. Extremely forgiving and extremely easy to do. I used all my 5" blocks but you can also use your 2 1/2 strips to make it. Came together in less than 4 weeks. So easy to make and so colorful. Thank you Cheryl. This link takes you to the blog post of the re release of this quilt.
GENERAL INFORMATION
🗓 Kickoff Date: Thursday, January 22nd
⏳ Duration: 7 weeks, wrapping up on March 12th.
🎉 Final Parade: Come here for the party. People had a choice of 4 different patterns to try. You did have to buy your pattern but it was on sale really cheap so that was great.
🚫 No Prizes—Just Fun: This is all about using what we have & enjoying the process. And I did enjoy it. Now I have a pattern for making a real quick quilt for a baby.
📝 Scrap Busting Posts: There were tips posted on fabric organization, scrap-busting ideas, and sewing techniques throughout the sew along.
🔹 The Challenge: Try to create your entire quilt—top, binding, and backing—using only fabric from your stash! No new fabric purchases needed. And I didn't buy any except for the backing that I bought for a different quilt, found it wasn't right, so now I used it for this one.
The quilt parade is at this link at the end. Come take a peak.
Then there was the painting which I went crazy on. Take a look. They're in order of when I painted them.
and my favorite. I absolutely love the colors.... Getting better don't you think?
That was a busy 2 weeks lol. How's your quilting and art coming along?
