Texture Magic

Texture Magic & the latest challenge

I started out by sewing the Texture Magic to the wrong side of the green fabric. I used alternating rows of straight and curvy stitching to sew them together. Then applied steam to side with T.M. (not touching iron to fabric). You can see how much it shrank... approximately 30%.

I then used the Textured piece for the grass in the picture. Pieced the sky... Made the Poppies by gathering a folded strip about 2 1/2" x 10"... Wrapped lengths of clothesline with strips of two different greens for the stems... Zigzag stitched the stems to the background... Attached poppies with button tied to background.

Knitting Project

This is the pattern that I picked up last week when Cynthia was here. The "yarn" that I'm working it in is Bamboo and Silk. It feels wonderful. My colors are different from the pattern. The primary color in the back is orange. I've started with the back to see if I have enough yarn. The yarn was on sale for 40% off. Don't ask off what...

POssible backing for T shirt Quilt

The green "border" is not a border....the green will go around at least two blocks....these are just a smapling...there are about 6 more   one of which is the extra large one which will not have a "border" around it.......please give me a call and let me know

Here are SOME of the blocks sewn together....the fabric this gal picked out is mostly blues and greens and all in batiks....Hayley and I found two fabrics on equilter that we think would make a nice backing could you look at all these and tell us which you think would make a good backing....there is so much background showing o the t shirts i think the bottom one but the top one is very interesting too...please help us ...

Whisper Challleng Almost finished

Two views of my Whisper Challenge. The bottom half of the background has tucks all the way across. The top half was quilted with tight circles. The "music box" in the middle opens to reveal a whole different look to the piece. I still have to add some small musical notes.

This is the quilt I received as part of the ongoing Whisper Challenge. The size is about 15" square. I'm supposed to use this piece as inspiration and come up with a small piece withing two weeks. Then I return this one to it's maker and pass my quilt on to the next person in the chain. Any suggestions?
