Good Fortune clue number 4

As many people had already speculated there's some string piecing going on in this project. Of course Bonnie being who she is, gave people options you could traditionally string piece onto very thin paper. You could strip piece without using any paper. You can just cut the cop out version which is rectangles of the correct size in different fabrics in the orange family which is Bonnie's color for this clue.

This is where my greens will come in... lots and lots of different colors of green anything from a very blue green a very light happy limey green or a nice medium green or even a deep dark Hunter forest green. Whenever I teach a class that using greens or when people ask can you put this green with that green I always tell them of course! All you have to do is look at nature All Greens go together :-)
Indeed while we were in Hawaii there were many many shades and tints and tones of green and they all looked beautiful altogether.

Project Quilting Challenge 1 Hope

Trying to come up with a translation of Hope to a quilting project was my challenge this week. Project quilting is a fun idea by persimmon dreams quilt ing to try and get you to think beyond what you would normally do in a quilting project. I'm not a art quilter, I'm I'm definitely a traditional quilt maker but I wanted to try and participate the best way I could. So hope for me is something that I always want to have in my heart and in my life but I also understand that sometimes the things we hope for don't always come to pass. I chose to create a representation of a cancer ribbon combining the blue of all cancers the blue of colon cancer and the lavender or purple of all other cancers. My mother recently dealt with cancer of her colon but we were very blessed that it was found in a place that was easy to treat and even without taking chemotherapy it was still done with surgery and very successfully. I'm hoping that I will still have my mother around for many y

Good Fortune Clue number 3

Oh dear it's the dreaded half chevrons! Okay, could be worse could be those long-legged pointed triangles. These were not actually not too bad. More information on Bonnie Hunter' s blog https://quiltville.blogspot.com/2018/12/mystery-monday-link-up-part-3.html I decided to use my Folded Corners ruler and it pretty much went exactly as it was supposed to. You probably can't tell from the pictures but I am scaling down the size of a quilt unless it's something that I really really really love. Since I have been substituting my color scheme this clue, which in Bonnie's quilt was Greens (which I will be using later) I chose to use yellow to represent the beautiful sunshine and some of the lovely hibiscus flowers. Amazing though what I thought would be plenty of contrast because my background is supposed to represent the Sandy Beach I'm not so sure I got enough contrast with some of my yellows. And along with that my yellows turned out to be in short supply so

Project Quilting Challenge#6 Chocolate

Yep, that's correct Challenge number 6 for project quilting is chocolate! Couldn't have picked a more favorite item for me to try to recreate. Looks like there may be more than one of us who have fond remembrances of chocolate Easter bunnies especially at this time of the year when Easter is on many people's mind. Saw an inspiration on Pinterest of a darling pillow cover made with strips and an applique chocolate bunny. Luckily I had the perfect chocolate type fabric just waiting for me. Of course I gave him a candy pink eye and instead of the normal pink or blue bow I used yellow because I thought it looked better with all the fabrics. It was fun creating this cute bunny and he will look very nice until Easter arrives. And the great thing is he doesn't have any carbs and he won't melt :-) Check out these other chocolate inspired Creations click here Alert alert! I just realized I forgot his tail I will try and update later :-)
