Here's the ornament I made for<a href="http://www.southsidebrushes.com/" target="_blank"> South Side Brushes</a> (four in all). I didn't have a plan, I just knew I wanted to use the poinsettia and the paper with the wording for the background. I used things already had in my stash. It turned out pretty good.</div>

I attended the<a href="http://www.createmixedmediaretreat.com/ehome/index.php?eventid=75796&" target="_blank"> CREATE 2014 Retreat</a> again this year. I was only able to take one class since I was in Ohio at the <a href="http://www.heartofohiotole.org/convention.html" target="_blank">HOOT Convention</a>. I took a fabulous fabric dyeing class called Snow & Ice Dyeing with Cindy Lohbeck of<a href="http://www.handsonhanddyes.com/" target="_blank"> Hands On Hand Dyes</a>. Below are the fat quarters I dyed. I can't wait to make more.</div>

It's been a while since I posted any watercolor paintings, but here is my little Red - Breasted Nuthatch from my watercolor class on Wednesdays. This one is from way back in September. We finally had enough people to hold class again which started on the 21st. I feel so<i> "normal"</i> again! This one is all my own drawing instead of tracing a pattern from my reference photo. Its always more satisfying when I do all the sketching myself.</div>

I learned to do the flower at the Original Sewing and Quilt Expo in Schaumburg, IL. The class is 3-D Origami Flower and was with Stephanie of <a href="http://stores.cscountrystitchin.com/2014-show-calendar/" target="_blank">Country Stitchin</a>. It was really easy to do.Cheri P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16651258138287367275noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359794749142835794.post-10757584658185381442014-05-03T18:00:00.001-05:002014-05-03T18:00:46.111-05:00The Everything Bag<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's my Everything Bag from the Winter 2013 issue of <a href="http://www.fonsandporter.com/sip/quilting_quickly" target="_blank">Quickly Quilting</a>. I love <a href="http://tulapink.com/collections/" target="_blank">Tula Pink's fabrics</a>, so when I saw this, I had to make it. I already had purchased from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/sewlovefabrics" target="_blank">SewLoveFabrics</a> on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a> a pack of 25 fat quarters of the Tula Pink Acacia line. The bag only takes one 2 1/2 inch strip WOF of 12 different fabrics plus fabric for the pockets and lining. I have plenty of fabric left over so I may make another. I think this would look great in batiks, too.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Here are blocks 1 and 2 for the<a href="http://www.michaelmillerclubhouse.com/" target="_blank"> Michael Miller Clubhouse 2014</a>. I think this year will be easier than last year's clubhouse. I highly recommend investing in the <a href="http://www.blocloc.com/" target="_blank">Bloc Lok</a> ruler to square up your half square triangles. It really makes easy work of the squaring up process!</span></div>

Saturday I went to a bus trip to the Quilt Shop Hop in Kokomo, IN with the <a href="http://www.prideofprairie.org/" style="color: magenta;">Pride of the Prairie Quilters</a>. It was a great time. During lunch, mom and I were talking with the girls at the table and I happened to mentioned that I am a beginner. A little later, one of the girls we were talking to came up to me and gave me a complimentary quilt pattern called <a href="http://www.jwdpublishing.com/patterns/linda-kaiser/patterns.html" style="color: magenta;">A Ray of Light by Linda Kaiser</a> which is published by <a href="http://www.jwdpublishing.com/index.html" style="color: magenta;">JWD Publishing</a><span style="color: magenta;">.</span> Her name is <a href="http://www.jwdpublishing.com/patterns/designers/teresa-fields.html" style="color: magenta;">Teresa Fields</a> and she is one of the designers for JWD Publishing. She asked me to show her what I've done when I go back next year. <i><b> </b></i></div>
<div style="color: #274e13;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #274e13;">
<i><b>Well, that sounds like a challenge to me and I'll take it! </b></i> </div>
<div style="color: #274e13;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #274e13;">
Check out Teresa's patterns <a href="http://www.jwdpublishing.com/patterns/teresa-fields/patterns.html" style="color: magenta;">here</a>. I can't wait to start picking out fabric for the quilt. I decided to make the throw size. It will come in handy on bus trips.</div>
