Des Moines AQS October 4, 2012

I went by bus again with Kathie and Sylvia. I was so excited to come home with my Janome Platnum 760 portable sewing machine. Lots more of ideas. I can't wait to get out of my day job and quilt more. I took pictures of color and machine quilting ideas.

Sylvia's Round Robin

I finally finished this. I have been stewing over this for weeks of what to do with my round. I could not figure out what to do for expanding the shapes. The size was difficult for me to add to since it was not divisible by 2 3 4 or 6. I found a drunkards path block in my Curved Piecing book by Paulette Peters. I first added the skinny red border and then the drunkards path. I was trying to incorporate Summer Solstice theme.

I wanted to add appliqué but called Jackee to verify first and she felt it was better it keep first block as person developed.

Layout of Story Time Stars

Since I don't have a design wall, I will lay this out on the floor and take a picture. That way I will know how they should be sewn together. This is for Jackson Dennis.

Bricks for Story Time Stars

I need to sew to stop thinking about Sadie and cancer. We got the news today from Keith.

I have all of the bricks done. Even did the spin seam with pressing open seams.

I love you Sadie.

Sorting Scraps

Wow!! Scraps from Kim. I am trying to organize all these little bursts of color into stacks and get them into my new storage cabinet. I love scrap quilting. A necessary step before going back to sew.

Sharon's Pansy Park Round 1 by me

Sharon wanted a Southwestern theme to her Round Robin small group project with Cover Girls. I wanted to extend blue half square triangle and give image of block turned on point. I purchased a burnt orange fabric at Country Sampler and expanded to 18 inches finished. I like how it turned out and now it goes to Mary at June meeting.
