A suggestion for our two-year project

If you like the design, print the first one off and try some different colors. I played with a color pallet of black, dark blue, gold, green, light blue and light blue grey. This would make 72" x 72". I can add border(s) also.

Sound of Music

Here's the group challenge project I'm working on. I used some of the painted fabric for the suns and some sky. Got the greens from Ruth's stash. I'm going to use the musical note fabric for the borders. They are currently just up on the design wall not sewed. I thought I would quilt across the design with straight or wavy musical staffs (if that's the right term) with the bright color threads. One line in each color.

Here is the beginning

Here is the beginning of the beaded bracelet...

Beaded Bracelet

Here are some shots of the beaded bracelet I made....not bad considering I used whatever I had on hand....

LOVE the new SEWING ROOM

WHat a neat space to work in.....plenty of stadium seating for observers.....a tv and a nice view...all the crature comforts......well we expect to see "great" things!!!!!

New Craft Room

This is the first layout for the new sewing room. So far I love having everything in one room.

Northwoods Crossroads

I just finished this top today. I used 2 1/2 inch strips to make the squares so the cutting was very easy. Just love the border fabric. I mixed a little of it into to the center section as well as some of the related fabrics from the same family. It was actually simpler to put together than you would think. After I get some batting, I'll be able to get it sandwiched, quilted and bound next week. Much of the fabric came from Connecting Threads.
