Project Quilting 11.4 theme is Birds in the Air This is my " From Dusk till Dawn" 20" x 20"  Improv scrap quilt Organic matchstick quilting in various shades.  So excited that I can jump in this challenge.  I wanted to play with my scrap bits jar and see what I could come up with. I used 10 background colors to go with the 10 colors of birds. The gradient fabrics helps to give it the feel of dusk till dawn.  Linking up with Persimon Dreams and  P.Q. 11.4  pop over and see all the entries this week!

Her quilt was on my bucket list to make one day and then suddenly the MQG came up with a challenge to remake some of the free quilt patterns they have featured over the years.  Believe it or not but I had most of the colors already in my stash and ready to go. I had to locate two of the blues but the rest were ready to go. I took t...

My lovely niece Lisa made this fabulous scene. The tall white tree was cut with her Cricut machine. So were the framed picture and the tiny bits that make up those cool balls. These are all so wonderful. Like a wonderland!  I like to think I am creative with my quilting but this was all another level that i just had to share.  Also recently my last post was on the test quilt "Eternal Moment' That I did for Simone Quilts. Read about it  HERE   Her pattern is in the last issue of Make Modern Magazine. I thought I would post that the magazine used my test quilt in their newsletter!
