Still Working

I wanted to show some pics from Monday's guild. We were learning Stack'n Whack. Jennifer and I had already cut our block sets and were ready to sew when we got there. Here are some ladies just learning to match fabric repeats and cut sets:

I can't wait to see how this one turns out.

This is Susan's first fan:

These are some of Jennifer's fans:

Here are some of mine:

I am binding a quilt for the store today. Pictures will come next time. Last night at another guild, I started an English paper piecing project. It is my first. I think I will like this. And I signed up for a charm swap this week for a postage stamp quilt. Thousands of small squares will be a real challenge. This might not be seen for years.

We are busy at Suppose preparing for Shop Hop next week and then for the Quilt Sampler magazine release. So exciting.

Keep quilting and stay happy.

Working Hard

Thanks everyone for your kind comments on my last post.  The excitement has died down and I am still working hard.

This is a quilt I am working on for Suppose, the quilt store where I work.  It is so fun to get to sew brand new fabrics.  This is Half Moon Modern.

These are some crazy quilt blocks for the CQJP 2012 challenge I am working on.  Some are done, some are started and some are naked.  Can you guess which is my favorite?

Mr. Peacock has lots of bling.  I think he is gorgeous.  The block just to his right in the previous picture has a center circle piece that I copied from some earrings my friend was wearing in church one day. It is all done in metallic thread.  I'm going to ask her if she recognizes it.

This will be the 12" center of my crazy quilt which will be surrounded by the twelve 6" blocks.  Now you know I am serious about doing this challenge.  All these lovely pieces except the center circle are from linings my daughter tore out of wool clothing and silk scraps she gave me.  I think the blue and pink center will also be my quilt back.

That's all for now.  Next time I'll show some other WIPs.  Stay happy and keep quilting.
