Sew Let’s Quilt Along

Partners in Design released the third block in the Sew Let’s Quilt Along.

It is a ruler block, and is a bit of a challenge to piece.  I am not a great piecer, so this fun and challenging block was good for me to make.

Here is my version:

The numbers are not stitched down yet; I hope to get to that soon.  Otherwise, this block is done and I am happy with it!

Judy’s Virtual Quilt Challenge 5

Back in March, Judy, the Virtual Quilter, posted Virtual Quilt Challenge #5.

We were to select a block from the EQ Library and play with it.  We are learning to create applique designs!

Judy gave more examples here and here.

I wish I had more time, because this is a really fun challenge!  As I play, more ideas keep coming, but this will have to do for now.

I chose to work with the block that is in the upper left square.

Candace Project

Back in January, I announced that I was going to make an art quilt.  I hadn’t made one in such a long time, and this one has been on my heart for a few years.

And then I didn’t do anything with it.

I got out the tracing paper and finally traced a working pattern.

I might redraw the face; not really happy with it, but changes will be made as I go along.  That’s part of the process.

Progress!
