Where Has the Time Gone?

Where has the time gone since the last time I posted on here? Me and about 6 other people are still working on crazy quilt squares to make into a quilt for the MCC sale in Hutchinson. If you have been following my blog you may remember that a while back, one of the squares was kidnapped. Well, the kidnapping was worth it. Here is a picture of what the kidnapper did to the corner of this fan block. I don't know what the rest of you think but I think it is beautiful and I am glad that she kidnapped the square!

See you later!

Back From Omaha(Crazy Quilt Convention)!

I am sorry I have not written for such a long time. I was really busy getting ready to go to Omaha and just didn't make the time. I took a class from Kelly Gallagher-Abbott and she showed us her method of making spider webs. Here is a picture of my spider web. Over the next few days, I will try to show you some other things I worked on and did at the convention!

See you later!

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!
