Here are some pictures of what I have been doing for the last several days. First is a fusible applique top I have put together for Pat Farace from Quilt by Number. It is a sell sample for her booth in Houston and other shows this fall. She will quilt it someday I am sure!
I am delighted that I have become able to do machine applique with some skill.
The next picture shows the Fire quilt sample I am doing for Joan Jones of Seams Like Home to go along with the Ice quilt I did earlier this month. Believe it or not two completed quilts in one month. See what happens when someone dangles a cash carrot in front of me! It is still on the machine but I thought you might like to see my workshop. I will finishing quilting today and bind it tomorrow so I can take it to Joan this weekend. If you want to see them both in person they will hang in her booth at Quilt Festival in Houston in October.
Off to finish this up and get on with my class sample. As of now I am teaching one class at Acme Country Fabrics on Friday Oct. 16th. Call the store, stop in or check the web site for info. The project is open to all mystery students from past classes who are asked to bring a mystery quilt made in one of my previous classes and to those who want to get inside my head and make my very first original design quilt Peppermint Swirl.
I will have my latest sample top for you to see early next week. Meanwhile you can see two other versions at Acme.
More soon.
OOO…JAL
