in Green Pastures

Image
A while ago I started a mini scrap quilt of some of my favorite (all time)pieces of black and white fabrics. I wanted to use an ombre fabric to go from lightest yellow to dark green along with the lightest black and whites down to darker. I did this with a recent challenge piece for an art exhibition that is up now. (more on that in another post) When I started laying the scrap squares out I knew I needed a bit of extra pooch to the yellow/greens. I cut small squares of batting so in those squares there is extra thick batting. With the quilting in each square it makes the solids pop up a bit.   I was trying to take a photo with the sunlight not cooperating but I think you get the idea. It's subtle. I like the idea of extra poof in areas.  I am just happy I finally got it out and finished the facing on it so that I could take some quick pics.  Again the sunlight was not with me but it is sort of fitting anyway.  This one I called "in green pastures"  24"x 24...

My turn on the New Blogger Blog Hop

Image
It is my turn this week on the  New Blogger Blog Hop   sponsored by Beth at Plum and June.  Since joining this Blog Hop I have learned so much and am still in the process of making everything better. I have added an About me page HERE  (quilty pics) and a couple bits about why I started my blog. More quilty pics Quilt Gallery .  In a nutshell, it is a tribute to my Mom and all the quilty-ness and crafty-ness I grew up with. My Mother was very creative in so many ways.  I am one of 10 children and so she 'had' to be creative and know how to make things from not much.  1. resin on photo keychain 2. reading a yard of books 3.magnet note holder 4. building a shed 5. rag rug 6,7,8. earring making 9,10. bracelet making 11. quilted letters tote 12. doll making 13. hand puppets 14. shower table of food 15. quilted zipper bags 16. frame purse Crafty things I love: Above are a few things I have dabbled with in the last couple of year...

Project Quilting Season and Patone Challenge

Image
  Project Quilting challenge = done! Here is my "Sweet Treats" inspired quilt for this round of Project Quilting hosted by Kim over at Persimon Dreams HERE My sweet interpretation comes from a couple of places. First, the Olympics starting this week. Love this! I love all the quilty goodness all over the place at this years Sochi Olympics. Such fun colors too! So watching the pre-Olympic news I caught a lot of their logos and one that kept coming up is the use of 'equilateral' triangles. I have wanted to try them again.  Second the location and all the beautiful scenery at the Olympics is just breathtaking. I am loving some of the beginning events too, especially the snow events like slope skiing. I then thought the triangles in shades of purple looked a lot like 'rock candy'. So this is my "Purple Rock Candy Mountain" quilt: Note: It just started snowing like crazy here so that is added bonus to my challenge theme. I have the mountai...
