I was inspired by the book “Strips that Sizzle” by Margaret J. Miller.

I loved this workshop! The colors please me and I was able to use small pieces of my favorite fabrics left over from prior works.

Chaos Theory
Deborah Himelhoch

I made the fans in a workshop by Edrene Heiss. While I was placing the butterflies at home one of them decided to escape and was quickly joined by several “ghost” butterflies. Between the fans and the butterflies I think we might have some interesting weather brewing.

Larkspur
Deborah Himelhoch

This was started in a worshop by Josh Chernoff. My cat, Larkspur, is a shade of gray called “blue” by breeders, so I decided to make his portrait in blue.

Joy to the World
Deborah Himelhoch

I started this in a workshop by Nancy Roelfsema. It made me happy while I was working on it and the yellow bias stem work reminds me of sunshine winding in and out of the blues and greens, thus the name “Joy to the World”. (but no bullfrog)

Flores Mas Hermosas

Doris Holland

Log Cabin, Flowers and Birds
Myra Janus

I love the old fashioned look of the log cabin pattern using fabrics from my earlier days of making quilts. I wanted to practice my machine applique skills and machine quilting. I designed and made the the quilt myself. The flower patterns were from the book Raw Edge Applique by Sue Nichols and Pat HollyContinue reading “Log Cabin, Flowers and Birds

Wild whirl
Diane R Johnson

The assignment for the group was to create 4 squares but I chose to make 6 squares in order to make a lap quilt.

It’s In The Details
CoolPeaces by Karen Jones

Fashion has many individual languages that speak to a person’s personal style. When you “clean” your closet, you will be amazed at the opportunities that await you. Think twice before you get rid of a beloved piece of clothing and look at it in a different light. You can be creative and design something newContinue reading “It’s In The Details
