The children are rolling out one by one – along with a few assorted dogs so after I clean and clean and clean, I plan to get back to this project. These are squares of woven fabric but the background is added on to create subtle curves that make a heart shape. Its a class sample for February’s Braided hearts. There are strips of vintage and not so vintage lace woven into the hearts as well as a large variety of white and beige fabric.
Spent the weekend with my mother and had the time to put in the last stitches on this quilt. It is a smaller version of my Diamond Star Pattern. I was inspired to do the blues and yellows by someone who took the class – I’d mention her name but forgot to ask her if I could – any way, she was using all her blue and yellow scraps – I saw her center completed just last week – beautiful! Check out a better picture of this quilt in my gallery.
I’ve been working on some class samples for my January trapunto class as Sew-n-Save. These are table runners with trapunto used to “make” my quilt blocks. This particular table runner is being completed on the long-arm. I have another done in blues that was quilted entirely on my home machine – just in case anyone is worried that it can’t be done on a home machine.
