Borders added to Twister

Borders added to Twister Table Topper, now how to quilt finish it? Need to do some research on quilting.

Christmas tree skirt was a bigger piece than this one but we "tied" it, I want to machine quilt this one. Simple machine quilt of course.

Plan to use the green print for the back and the red border fabric for binding.

WOW 2 Posts in 1 Day!!!

Here is my "Twister" table topper, needs borders and finishing. Fun project!

Happy Weekend!!!!

Happy Friday - Happy Weekend....hoping for a very creative and productive weekend.

Beginning tonight with the HGTV board PJ party - Twister project. Here is my starting piece waiting for instruction tonight about cutting pieces using the "Lil Twister" template and sewing the blocks back together to make a "pinwheel" table topper.

Then working on AFF pages and One Block Swap.

Valentines

Fun Friday night with friends in the craft room. My "swim mom" friends came over to see and play in my craft room. We get together to assemble treat boxes for our college kids. For valentines I invited everyone over to my house to assemble the boxes and make valentines. Lots of fun stamping, cutting paper, embossing, and glitter on all!

Here are my valentines

2011 and a new project

In 2010 I finally made some "art" quilts. Are they really art? Not sure but I made them and I like them. Thanks to my HGTV friends that invited me to be part of "The Bakers Dozen". A group of 13 women with a variety of quilting and creative styles making art quilts based on themes.  This group started in May 2010 and will continue through 2011, every six weeks or so the group posts their quilt for the current theme.

First Theme "Freedom" posted in July

 Bangles Bubbles and Beads

 Currently working on "Hardware Store" - was due in Dec. but the holidays took over now due next week.

Along with "The Bakers Dozen" I'm creating Round Robin Books with some "Artsy Farsty Friends".

2010 was an awesome year for creating, I was flattered to be invited to join the creative ladies in these two groups.

Challenge for 2011, BOM - Block of the Month. I tried last year and only made one of the 12 blocks. I've set the goal of making all 12 this year. This could be a challenge since I'm not a "quilter" and haven't made many blocks and never a whole quilt. It would be nice to make all 12 so that I could have a quilt at the end of the year.

Starting out on schedule with a practice block, but, need to unsew and fix the corners.


Opps!!!! I'll get the corners turned around this weekend!!! Got to it this evening, all fixed.

Merry Christmas

A Merry Christmas here! Fun with family and lots of good food.
Posting with my iPad! Still learning all the functions, but it is cool!
