Star for Cindy

Here is my paper pieced star for your Quilt of Valor quilt:

It was fun to make (a bit out of my skill range!), but I think it turned out usable and pretty.  I hope you enjoy it and thanks for picking such a worthy cause for our stitches.  It will be in the mail to you tomorrow.

Patriotic Star Block

I am so excited to share my block for Cindy in hive #1. This was fun to learn and it really boosted my confidence! I am really pleased how it turned out, I hope you like it Cindy!

[Very late] blocks for miki....

Finally getting around to posting these to the blog, and mailing these.... apologies for the late late mailing, but I hope you like them Miki, I left them a little larger than you asked for so that you can choose how to crop them, and I added some goodies into the envelope to say sorry xxxx

What a Star

I really like this pattern we did in Hive #1 this month. Now paper piecing is not my favorite technique but this star is a beauty when made.

So Cindy I hope you like.

And I hope who will receive this quilt will take pride in it's beauty also. I know they will appreciate it.

Here you go, Miss Cindy...

I've finished Cindy's Star for March (Hive #1).  I might actually make another one tonight to go with it, if the fates allow (fates = my children and their schedules from hell ;)

Hope you like them.  I think I will sign up to do a QOV, too.  I was also inspired by your blog post to join in the helping hands quilt project, so will be doing one of those this spring :)  Thanks!!

Hive 2 March Block

Tara,
Once again my friend Mary and I got together on Friday to make our blocks.  We always have a good time sewing together...some sewing and a lot of talking and laughing.  My inspiration came from a very unusual place (don't laugh).  I was playing Angry Birds late one night, trying to settle down from my day and there it was staring me in the face.  The cutest little tree.   So I started the ball rolling. Hope you like my spring tree.

Enjoy!  Judy



March Block - Hive 2

I spent Friday at my friend Judy's house and we worked on our blocks together.  We do some of our best work when we can work together. :0)  I got my inspiration from my leaf fabric I had in my stash.  I pressed some steam a seam on the back side and from there a fall tree was born.

Tara, I hope you enjoy!

Mary

Samantha I have your block done and it will be in the mail tomorrow. I think it turned out very nicely. I can't wait to see what your quilt will look like.

.Now I'm off the make your label.

Till next time

hive 2 march blocks

I had two different ideas of trees I wanted to do for my trees. I really enjoy the look of geometric faceted shapes working together to form pictures. my yellow trees were loosely based off a drawing I did when I wanted to make a tree block for Sonny's hive. the 'leaves' were supposed to be loose hexagons fitted together, but when I started 'drawing' with my machine, the block decide what it was going to look like. It's kinda crazy, but the process was fun, and there's always new parts to look at when one comes back to it.

My second geometric tree was about sewing triangles together to form crystal shapes. It was hard to balance two different solids together, and I like how it almost swirls out to make a tree top. It's a tree of it's own, for sure. It seemed lonely by itself, so I gave it a geometric turtle to hang out  with it.  I hope it works out for the quilt. Thanks for the opportunity!
