As I look through the blog-a-shere
and see all the wonderfully beautiful projects
that quilters have finished …
I feel …
like a slug!!
Did not get many projects finished (only 4)
But …
did get my worked juried in a few big shows
which was INCREDIBLE!
The best was the "pinch me" moment when I learned
my red quilt received a third place in Paducah!
And a week later my taupe quilt received a
first place at HMQS!!!
So proud of those girls!
So with 2015 done and 2016 already started
here is what is on my sewing table
at the moment…
"The Purple Mermaid"
from the 2015 Row by Row Experience
by Quilter's Fancy
mine is renamed to "Sleeping Mermaid"!!
Having fun with this one!
lots of beading, embroidery to look forward too!
"Massachusetts ~ Mayflower"
from
American Album Blocks
by Pearl P. Pereira and Susan Prileau
This will become the center block of nine ships
the other eight will be from Susan Garmen's
"Ladies of the Sea" Pattern
"Plates"
fun little EEP project that was started last year
there will be nine blocks in total
all the blocks have nice colorful Sashiko
stitching surrounding them!
"Parasol Girls"
adapted from a 1930's quilt
made by the great aunt of a
fellow co-worker!
(before I retired!)
Thinking of an orange paisley -
as the original used a cheddar orange.
But not sure about it…
may go with a blue for the sashing and
this black/white colorful Kaufman
London Calling print…
it is the same fabric as the dress in the center block
so it may just tie together all of these colors!!
Still need to finish appliqué leaves
on the boarder of this beauty
Just 12 sets of four leaves left to do
then the quilting fun may begin!!
And LAST…
(for the moment!)
I've been playing around with
half square triangles
and Water Color Bali Pops
Lots to do the keep me busy to start 2016!
