Crazy Quilt Convention in Omaha!

In 12 days (but who is counting?) I will be going to the crazy quilt convention in Omaha. Last year I was truly fortunate and was asked to teach! I taught a crazy quilt 3-D pumpkin and it really was alot of fun! This year I get to go and just have fun taking classes. I will also be taking my crazy quilt shop on the road and be a vendor. Two of my friends are going with me and we are all eagerly awaiting the day. The picture I have here is the pumpkin that I taught last year.

Another MCC Round Robin Square

It's been awhile since I have posted anything. Sorry about that! The camera software is again not communicating with the computer so I'll will just show you pictures done on my scanner. Also the bottom right hand picture is not from an MCC Round Robin square but it is a seam treatment that I like really well on one of my pastel blocks so I thought I would share it with you.

See you later!

My MCC Square

This is the latest MCC Round Robin square that I worked on. I passed it on over a week ago but I could not get my camera to communicate with my computer so I wasn't able to post it. They are communicating with each other so I thought I better hurry while it is working. My husband installed a wireless thingy on my computer so that he could use the internet with his new laptop. Things on my computer have not been the working the same ever since! I love to make silk ribbon bunnies so I'll show you a close up of one that I did.

My Velvet Rose

I have recently become very interested in dyeing lace and velvets. Here is a velvet rose made out of my own hand dyed velvet. I like the way it turned out, I hope you do too.

Bye for now!

My New Beaded Butterfly

I will be teaching this butterfly in one of my classes next month and I was pleased enough with it that I thought I would share it with everyone!

As one of my favorite bloggers says,

Gotta Sew! Bye!

Carole Samples Dream-A-Seam Templates

I have gotten such a large response to the templates that I have for sale on my website! I thought I would show you a picture of a block I did using the templates. Last summer Carole came to Wichita and showed us how to use them. This is the block that I did in the class. It was a fun class and I really loved the block when I got done with it.

Bye!

Pastel Block Seam Treatments

Today I had an open house so that my customers could view the new classes I will be teaching this summer and buy any new stuff to use to embellish their crazy quilt squares. It is always a fun day and I love to see everyone. Thank you to everyone who came today!

Here are are two seam treatments that I put on the pastel crazy quilt block that everyone will be doing on Thursday. I used Thread Gatherers thread and ribbon to make the irises. The color was guilded lavendar.

Bye for now!
