I can just see this vase with hands on hips saying:  She said what?!   Thanks for playing.

WIP Wednesday - Craftsy block

Don't ask - this is what happens when you pick fabrics in the semi dark - LOL.  It's a little whackier choices than usual for me.  Not sure I would have picked such a bright green in the light of day. But it was half way done before I knew it, so it stays.I may call this my Wild Boxed Garden. Craftsy block three done - 17 to go.

I may have taken on more than I can do this year. Don't know what I was thinking!  I may wind up joining NewFO challenge before I know it as I'm 2 blocks behind already in the Just Takes 2 BOM and the new blocks are due today or soon.  I'm thinking I may make these craftsy blocks as a QAIG in order to have something to work on as I do the free motion project/challenge I've taken on also.  I've even found a back that might work for it.  We'll see.

Go on over to Esther's WIP Wednesday and see what others are doing.  You'll find a button for it on my sidebar.

Fabric Tuesday 1/31/12

Progress is being made on my UFO, but it will be in February before I'm done.  It's been good to practice my FMQ on.  Here's one block - you can see I practiced Leah's edit of sewing straight lines and stippling.  If you click on the photo you can see an enlargment.  I'm using a 70/10 sharp needle, 100 wt Wonderfil Invisifil, my feed dogs up with my stitch length set to zero.

And here is a photo with a closer look:

Go to my sidebar and click on Leah's FMQ project and Quilt Story's Fabric Tuesday.  Happy stippling or straight line stitching!

Design Wall Monday 1/30/12

It's kind of big to be on my design wall, but it is what I'm working on!  May not finish by Wednesday, but hope to finish by next Saturday as this is one of those weeks where I don't have any appts, kids to watch, board meetings, etc - knock on wood! I've added the 2 inner borders all around.  Now for the outer border.  It isn't as bad as it sounds as this is a QAYG project and 90% of the quilting is already done.

What's on your design wall?  To see what others are working on, go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times or Lynn's BOMs Away.  You'll find them in my sidebar.
