Welcome |
Just sent all of you an email with a picture of this t-shirt I found and with a picture of one of the new patterns I created. I got a lot of emails saying the pictures did not arrive with the e-newsletter!! So here they are. |
|
Here are the photo's of the quilt I made up using the BUTTERSCOTCH BALI POPS and of the SARAH PALIN T-SHIRTS. I've done a new pattern for each of the sets and as soon as they are quilted, bound and photographed I'll post the pictures on the site along with a way for you to order the patterns.
I called this "MENDED FENCES" and used the "Butterscotch Bali Pops" 2 1/2" precut strips set to make it. |
Wow, lot's of time has past since I last updated the site.For those of you that check occasionally, thank you. I fell off the grid for quite a while but some of the things I have been working on are now ready for publication. |
The new patterns (6 of them) are all using the new 2 1/2" strip sets from Hoffman Fabric. I am including information in each pattern for you to cut your own fabric from your stash, too. I'm even thinking seriously of kitting up some of the patterns with batiks I have picked out. Let me know what you think. I am always thrilled to hear from you. It was so liberating to use fabrics that had been pre-cut and chosen by someone else! AND it was a challenge but a lot of fun. I felt like it really stretched me. I had become so used to embellishing that it felt really wonderful to do some traditional piecing. I must say I was a bit concerned about whether or not I could make decent looking quilts from the Bali Pops... plus I had it in my head that I could not add any fabric to them. But I really do love the look. I have decided to add fabrics to the next set of patterns I do using pre-cut strip sets though, since I plan on creating quilts that are large enough to use in the bedrooms of my home. |
