Nancy's workHello,

It is really feeling like spring here  and this wonderful shot of Nancy’s quilt in progress really expresses this feeling.  I love all the flowers and the bright colors.  She is amazing with her use of more and more pattern.  This shot is only about one eights of her quilt.   It was all we could show on the small space of my studio at the FAB meeting yesterday.     Judy is working away on her sweater.  She got some of the yarns from Patti .    Judy is IMG_5214such a good knitter she does not even need a pattern to do all these fancy stitches.     We had a good time yesterday.

IMG_5220.jpgI finished up my  entry for the  SAQA auction this week.  I had a good time creating this little twelve inch square piece.   I enjoy and support this organization.

 

PartsProgress Report:  Parts    This work is finally complete.   I sure enjoyed doing hand stitches all over the surface.     I think I will give this work to the local camera shop were I purchased the cameraIMG_5223.jpg that the parts are from.   I got  the new camera from them too  when I dropped this one an broke it.IMG_5221

IMG_5228.jpgFoggy Dawn   This work is the second half of older work.   I took Corrine’s ‘s advice and did the quilting in a spiral patterns.IMG_5230

 

The glitter that is on this work was on the fabric when I purchased it.   Lots of us like glitz.IMG_5234.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMG_5217.jpgSilver Growth  I am almost finished with this project.  I did all the free motion silver thread work earlier this week and I only need to add the facings now.

IMG_5215 Briar Patch   I am to the stage where I am adding the leaves and black berries to this quilt.   I added most of the black berries first.   I did not realize how many leaves I cut until I had them all pinned to the surface .  It sure makes it pricklier at the moment.IMG_5224

 

IMG_5216.jpgOut the Window   I was having so much fun with the turquoise and purple combination that I did a second quilt using this  color combination.  I lightened it up and did not go for much of the deep green of summer here.   It is a lot closer to the colors of spring and windflowers and snow.  Something that I saw on my walks this week.

Label Block #43     Slow and steady get’s the job done on this one.IMG_5219.jpg

Looking back over this blog I see lots of spring purple here.  I sure am influenced by the season.

Keep Creating
