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#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 :-)

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

Project Quilting challenge 10.3

This new Project Quilting Challenge number three is a fun one "Bigger than a Breadbox"... It can be any color any project any theme as long as it measures at least 16 by 8 in. It's nice to have the freedom to create something simple and something that in this case will be very useful. Every year my quilt group in American Fork, Utah makes placemats and mug rugs for Meals on Wheels to be delivered to their patrons sometime in December. So for me this cute Santa and remnants from my stash came together for this Project Quilting challenge Bigger than a Breadbox. Just some simple quilting and someone will be happy to receive it come the Christmas season.
