Busy, Busy














The Dixie Quild Guild is having a quilt show in April. I am so excited. You should see all the fabulous quilts these ladies make. They had a fabric challenge, where you use the issued fabric, which is the dark print and make a quilt (not there yet) or other item. This is what I made. I found the pattern on http://www.ayumills.blogspot.com/. Each month at the meetings they have show and tell, where the ladies show what they have finished. I am in awe! I am so glad to be in this group. They are such a friendly group.














This is a 5" quiltie that I made for Meg, in Unlimited Textiles group. I use some of the pieces


from the larger block I had made earlier. I was a fun challenge.

Updating

Agnes, one of my basketry students, brought me these flowers on the last class. Aren't
they beautiful. They have lasted for 2 weeks. Wow, I have never gotten flowers from a student before. That was so nice of her.















I took a class to make this table runner. Learned alot. Still have to do some stitching
on the top and then add the buttons on the points. I just used some fabric that I had,
didn't want to use my batiks, in case I messed up. Now I would like to do one using batiks.












This was the latest block for the Dixie Quilt Guild. I won for most creative. I did machine applique on the circles. The theme was curves and circles. Next month the theme is flowers.
I am going to turn this one into a art quilt, adding beads and some embellishments.
