Hi, I'm back. If you ever get a chance to go to a Deb Strain talk - go! She is a fabric designer for Moda and designs lots of other things too like cards, calendars, home decor etc. She hand draws and paints every design in several colorways when she does a line of fabric - no computer assisted drawing. Even the prints with handwriting in the background, she has done it by hand!
I bought a few pieces of fabric from her and a few pieces more from the shop that hosted the event.
Great way to spend the day. Then came home and worked in one of the flower beds for a bit.
So no sewing yet today LOL

Here is the 365 challenge center, and the blocks for the rest of April to get caught up. I read that she's going to repeat it next year, and that is one reason she's only leaving the patterns up for 3 months.
Then I switched gears and pulled out the Embroidery machine to work on some machine applique blocks that have been in a tote for over a year. I actually moved my Juki out of the way and put the Pfaff in it's place. I figure this way I'll be more likely to stick with it until I have the satin stitching done.

I spent some time this morning cutting squares for son's wedding quilt. The squares are getting cornered to white squares so people can sign them at the wedding. The colors are rainbow colors since the bride loves Wizard of Oz.
Then I spent some time hand quilting my niece's wedding quilt.
Nice work everyone

Your work is gorgeous, Macybaby.
I went to my quilt group (not officially a guild...) today and we worked on Christmas quilts to donate to hospital patients this December. I did a D9P. Will show that and an I Spy top I put together today as soon as I finish up and snap some pix.
Love seeing everyone's work.

Finally got brave enough to try a Double Wedding Ring. Been telling myself it's out of my reach, so I just jumped in and now it's about half way done. My corners aren't perfectly matched and it looks kind of rough because I just put it on the bed to get a picture, but am learning as I go.

I have been working away on and off this weekend on quilting projects... I posted a comfort quilt in pictures that I just finished today..... will try to check back in tomorrow. Enjoy seeing everyone's projects, thanks for taking the time to post pictures.

Nice DWR, Jeanie! I'm intimidated by that pattern, too. Glad you conquered it.
Here are my tops finished today. The first is the Christmas top for charity, and the second is an I Spy top for a customer who will quilt it herself.
