Colour Challenge July

July's Colour Challenge was pulled from a Picaso drawing. The colours are lovely but what to make! I decided to play with my Color Stiks and over colour an old green print. I made a sun visor from the pattern provided by Vicki Welsh and modelled by a preoccupied DH who was having a political discussion on the phone. DHs have to be good for something!

Free Motion Quilting Challenge July

This month's guest host was Angela Walters. She had us do a tile design with filler stitches in each tile. This technique can fill a large piece of quilt real estate. The double outline of the tiles make framed boxes that are offset from each other. An interesting layout.

Colour Challenge June

This is a new block for a UFO I have started working on hoping to finish soon; the colours for the challenge fit right in with the project.

FMQ Challenge June

Cindy Needham was our guest instructor for June. This was the most challenging assignment for me so far - and I thought the feathers were hard.

Freemotion Quilting April

this month we used netting or tulle to transfer the design to fabric; I've been using this method for decades so nothing new for me.

Colour Challenge March

I've not stuck down the monkey yet but I think this is the best spot for him.
