So I worked up to the very last minute to get this one done for our Prairie Women’s meeting. I’m so enjoying this 2 hours of my month. We have a little one this month that I’ll be putting together soon. I spy one of my make-do’s this month… top center… [...] Just need to finish the borders and do the quilting.

This was a lot of fun as I pieced some scraps up, cut, and then re-pieced. It’s a little busy, which [...] Saturday I took a FMQ feathers class at Acorn Quilts. I sat down and pulled out some pretty thread yesterday to give it another go and it was much better than my first attempt. I’m going to be practicing feathers all this week and working on getting a circular sampler done to feather quilt. [...] |
