This was made as a challenge for Penn Oaks Quilt Guild this year. Every year the guild does a challenge and I try very hard to participate. This went together pretty quickly and is made entirely of hand dyed fabrics. It has simple straight line quilting in the background. I really like straight line quilting and plan to do more of it in the future.
Today I went to a workshop with Sue Spargo. She has some wonderful wool quilts and wool projects that were so beautiful. It was hard to choose which one to make.
Here is Sue showing a buillion stitch, everyone really liked this stitch.
Many things to choose from, it was really hard. The colors were fabulous!
I love this pillow and resisted, it is something I want to make in the future.
Yummy silk velevets. There were as soft as they were beautiful.
Beautiful wool thread. The colors of everything just made you happy! I see a quilt in this picture.
Judie was busy working on an autumn pillow. I am sure she will have it done by Halloween!
Judie has the pumpkin face almost done after today's class.
Cheryl and Loren also had a good time. You can go to her blog and see what they did today. http://cheryllynchquilts.blogspot.com/
This is the pin cushion I am working on (it's not done yet). If you look at the rick rack to the right I couched it and then added french nots. Sue was very impressed and took a picure of it...I will post a picture of it when I am finished.

Your Sunflower is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have a fun group? I loved seeing all of the beautiful color in this post.
Your decoration of the ric-rac is brilliant. :)
Very pretty! I like the way you couched the rick rack and then did the french knots - such pretty colors used!
