Amy at Amy's Creative Side has put together another fabulous online festival of quilts. Here's my entry:

I made this carpenter star to quilt along with Judy Laquidara's tutorial on how to free motion feathers.  It was a great tutorial.  You can go here to see it.  And here is the back (actually a pale yellow) :

Blogger’s Quilt Festival Stats

Finished quilt measures : 38" x 38"
Pieced & Quilted by : Angie Nudge
Best Category : Wall Hanging

I made mine to be a wall hanging.  It was a fun project and all the materials were in my stash. Back in January I decided I would learn to do free motion quilting.  It has been a long process, but I feel I'm making some progress with SewCalGal's 2012 FMQ Challenge and Leah's Free Motion Project.  And then Judy posted her tutorial - Thanks, Judy!  Do click on the button above to visit the Festival.  Enjoy!
PS:  The winner of last week's Applique Thursday Book Giveaway is Sandra. Congratulations, Sanda!  Thanks to all who participated in  Applique Thursday.



Applique Thursday 10/25/12

It's that day of the week and here's as far as I got with Anna's Garden block #5. 

First set of company comes next Tuesday, so I won't be posting much for a while and the giveaways will take a hiatus, too.  I'll try to pick and announce last week's winner tomorrow if I can - a very busy day.

What have you been working on?  Remember even a few minutes a day keeps you moving forward. Link up and show us your eye candy!

Work in Progress

In between cleaning got the flimsie done for the large isolette.  It came out 33 1/2" x 46 - thumbs up!

Found I have enough of the dark blue/star fabric for the binding.  Think it will set it off just right.  Now I just have to sandwich and quilt after I find a dark backing for it.  The purpose of this quilt is to block the light over the isolette for the preemies.

I'm linking to Esther's WOW and Connie's Free Motion Quilting by the River.  Enjoy the candy there.
