2 classes

The Dixie Quilt Guild had aworkshop on making a Kalideoscope quilt. I made 9 blocks
and I am going to make a table cover. I want to do the process all the way through. "Make a quilt".
This is what I have so far. On the left is what the borders will be. The teacher was great.








I made this book cover in an free Online class at www.academyofquilting.com
Fun to do. Great instructions.

Give a way

There is a fabulous give a way at www.yellowbirdart.blogspot.com.
Also check out their website www.YellowBirdArt.com.

Took a class from Dianne Hire on Saturday. Fabulous class and teacher. Will post pictures soon.

This blue green piece was supposed to be in the previous post. I still have problems loading things.

This is the June block for the Dixie Quilt Guild.

We had to do a square in a square. Last block of this year for them.

I have had fun doing these blocks. Learned a lot.

What I have been up to...

I had fun making this bowl. Fabric wrapped around closeline, then zig zagged in to bowl shape.


























For the challenge this month, we were given a brown paper lunch sack. We could do anything we wanted to the bag. I painted it, added some webbing (it's the dark piece in the middle). cut out the vase and the three little pieces at the top. Added a piece of shrink art I had made on top of the 3 little pieces. Did some hand stitching on the white part. Love challenges.


Below are the 2 pieces I made at the demo given by Ann Pugh. Weaving 2 fabrics sorta free style cut. Little tricky but fun.

Catching up

The tall birdhouse is one of my latest pottery pieces that I made. And the basket is one from the class I taught. Also made the pottery piece on the front of the basket.

The desert picture is a class I took at a Desert Quilters Guild mini retreat, in Henderson, Nevada. I really enjoyed the class and the teacher was great.

The basket block is for the challenge at this saturday's meeting at the Dixie Quilt Guild in St. George, Utah.

New block

This is the block for February for the Dixie Quilt Guild. The amount of times I stitched and un-stitched while making this block, I could have had 2 blocks sewn. But I did learn from my errors.

I did win for best interpretation.

Next month is pinwheels. Still searching for a block pattern I want to do.
