More Photo's!~






This is a photo of the other pieces of fabric that we discharged and played with~ I used stamps, paintsticks and a little foiling on these. I can see lots of possibilities with the techniques and I think I'd like to try it with printed fabrics because it might make an otherwise 'what was I thinking' fabric, something fun. ;-)

I also worked on the blocks that Bingo~Bonnie and I are swapping. Although I didn't get that many blocks made up, I did make up a pile of HST's in the 2 sizes we need. ;-) I have been straining my brain trying to remember the traditional name of this block... does anyone know? The photo shows 4 blocks arranged in a star, but the 4 parts can be arranged many different ways. It is a fun, scrappy block. ;-)


And finally for today~ a pile of FQ's. :-) I took 6 for the FQ Lottery and came home with 30. :-)) Yay! See the one down in front with the button on it? It is safety pinned on to make the FQ look like a little envelope. Someone was very creative with their FQ's! :-)

I think (hope) you can click on the photo's for a little larger view.


That's all for now, until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!!

your class work sounds fun ;) and la,la,love those blocks! beautiful! and also the Ocean Wave blocks you posted below are really looking good too!!!

you lucky dog you! going with only 6 and coming home with 30! I took about 20 for various bingo games (limit 5 per game) and wouldn't you know it go so close but no luck! :( oh well. I did get to call one of the games and that was fun. Is that what you all did with your FQs? Bingo?

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
