Colleen/Oz day 10 - 12

 The last several days I have been working on a birthday quilt for my youngest grand daughter Payten Hope will be 3 and her party is Sat. I will be at her house and come home Sat so I had to finish it before leaving tomorrow. She asked for a Strawberry Shortcake quilt so here it is! FMQ'd many different designs in the 9 patch blocks and sashing, string of hearts on the pink background, stippling around her name and feathers on the borders. I was so busy I didnt think to post each day.
Wendy and Joanne thank you for the FMQ challenge!

FMQ challenge Day 5

Day 5: I turned the page...I tried feathers first ( upper right). I received The Quilter Magazine yesterday. It has an article, Ruffle Your Feathers.  I have a lot of practice before I get started....time to get out a doodle pad. The leaf shape was easier for me, some of the inside sqiggleys are not too good.

Those "things" on the top row were AWFUL!!!! That's why we are practicing...LOL!!!

FMQ Challenge Day 3-4

Busy time here...watching the weather also. Thankfully all the thunderstorms have subsided and no tornadoes here.  Sun is shinning again.

Day 3:  Practiced more of the circle and leaf things ( 2 rows not in pic). I feel they

show improvement. The hearts looked sort of OK going in one direction, but going back across

they were bad news!!!

Day 4: More practice on hears, better, but still plenty of room for improvement.

The flowers  on the chain were pretty easy!!! I think I could use them in a border.

STILL on the first page of basics...maybe tomorrow I'll turn the

page!!!

My quilt guild is hosting a Day Of Sharing this spring. The theme is Recycle. Our challenge was to use scraps, etc. and make an item....I used selvedges, left over pieces of batting  and plastic canvas and made a catch all to hold scissors, bobbins, accessories, etc. on my midarm table. I think I made it a little too tall, but maybe it will hold more.
