And....
Oh, not the best lighting on this one.
It is always fun to have a project done and behind you since there are so many out there just ready to be started, worked on, or finished. At this time Christmas projects have jumped to the front of the line but I can't blog those yet or there will be no surprises for later.
But I can show you a few things that are: 1) on the design wall, 2) being played with, and 3) a possible challenge piece.
As in a previous blog where I re-purposed a failed project this is an attempt to re-purpose some more of the failed project.
and then there is 'the wallet'. Why is it the pictures (not mine) always look better in the book? So to give full credit I will include the pictures from the book.
This one was the trial one which was taken apart. Sad to say the finished one was also a learning curve and isn't the one to crow about either. But I am not going to give up on these as I have too many sets cut out....for now, they are on the back burner.
I've never written about the new quilt group that I have dropped in on and dearly love. The ladies call their group "Fyber Café" and they all are talented art quilters. Just from the last two meetings I have picked up so much. The November meeting is out on their blog http://fybercafe.blogspot.com/ with some of my show and tell projects featured. This is almost as good as getting published in a quilt magazine!
They have a quilt challenge if you want to participate and this one has the theme of 'weather report'. The first idea to pop in my mind was 'raining cats and dogs'. Well, that didn't even make it to the drawing board. So while organizing the loft this piece surfaced. It was a piece that I had dyed, stenciled and bleached this last summer. I've started adding white French Knots in hopes the finished piece will look like a snowy forest.
Happy rainy days of fall!
Those look great! And so do the fall quilts that are on the other website. Looks fun!
