I finally finished Aurora Borealis, This was the last project on my list for 2012 that needed to be completed! Phew, just in time. It measures 62″ by 76″. The blocks are made from one piece of fabric by Camelot Cottons, Daydreams II.
I finished my niece Brandy’s quilt. She loves cats, I call this one “Pussy Footing Around”. I hope she likes it. I like to make a gift bag to go along with the quilt. I just need to sew on the label and I’m off to get it mailed.
Being sick put a crimp in mt quilting time. Hurricane Sandy is bearing down and all I can think about is getting another project finished. Well, today I did finish quilting the Halloween spider web quilt that I have decided to call Spider Tracks. The backing is Edgar Allen Poe fabric called “Nevermore”. The quilt is in the wash right now. Tomorrow I will take a finished picture and show the label and backing.
Tomorrow I’m off to teach the Lemoyne star class at Sew E-Z in Portsmouth.
It was Deb Tucker Day in my class room this weekend. Today was another great class with great students. I worked their butts off, but they were up for the challenge. This is no quilt for the faint of heart. It’s not that it is hard, but there is a lot of cutting. I love Deb Tucker patterns because she is so thorough and detailed always reminding us which direct to press our seams. It was a great weekend of classes at the Hampton convention Center, sponsored by Bella Fabrics in Carollton, VA.
Thank you to Sharon, Arlene, Trishia, Robin, Suzanne and Leanne. I enjoyed you all very much.
I just got home from teaching a Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star class in Hampton, VA. I have to say the students: Arlene, Susan, Suzanne, Leanne, Mavis, & Lisa – you guys are rock stars. We had a great class. They learned something new and had fun doing it. If you haven’t tried Deb Tucker’s Rapid Fire Lemoyne Star ruler, you don’t know what you are missing.
Going back tomorrow to teach the Oak Ridge Stars Pattern.
