Quilt Top Finished!

The quilt top for the LFA Beginning Quilting is finished! I'm pleased with it, but not ready to back and quilt yet. I might add some blocks, I think I want flannel instead of batting for the inside, and I don't have a long arm so I have to decide on a finishing method...all that for another day though!

Under Construction!

My first quilt! I have the nicest instructions from the LFA Yahoo Group (we do free fiber arts classes), although I'm deviating from them just a bit. The blocks are finished and the layout is pictured below...here's my under construction Spring Garden Quilt!

Paper Piecing Project

This is my first attempt at paper piecing. The project was sooo easy and quick. I think the end result is pretty dramatic too.

The basic process is pinning a scrap to a paper design, sewing the scrap onto the paper along a preprinted line, folding on the next line, trimming the seam, lining up the next scrap, and sewing again. That's it!

The instructions came from a free class on the Learning Fiber Arts Yahoo group.
I love this group! They (we, now I guess!) have a ton of ongoing FREE classes. Check it out!

A Book for My Daughter

I thought this fabric was too cute! I learned how to make these books in Sue's Journal Making for the Fiber Artist. The class was lots of fun :)

Books and More Books

These books are the result of a class I took from Sue Bleiweiss. Sue is very talented and a nice person! Jump on over and look at her classes. They are very reasonable and a lot of fun!

You might recognize this one from the shower curtain project!
