Inspired by Contest

I entered this little mini quilt

into this year's

QUILT ALLIANCE contest.

The theme was

"INspired BY"

 

Can anyone guess the quilt pattern that inspired me????

The FAN block.

Fan shapes were cut out of light weight paper.

Bits of fabric were sewn on...

then I added more white fabric ........

EMBROIDERY  :).....

and some BIG RED STITCHES!!!

 

There were some GREAT entries this year.

 

Here's the link.

Enjoy the quilt show. ;)

 

 

Two things

My Quilt made for The Alliance for American Quilts

is now on EBAY.

 

"20" was the theme of this quilt contest.

The Eye Chart was my interpretation.

;)

 

I painted the background fabric

adding lots of applique.

Felt letters, hand painted eye,

felt circles from an OLD, old felt wall calendar.

And of course..

GLASSES!

Many of use need those to get that 20/20 vision!

 

 

I also made a small zipper pouch for a friend.

 

I have NO shortage....

repeat....NO shortage of small 2" squares!

But I had to cut some NEW ones for this little bag.

 

Sometimes there just ISN'T that one or TWO colors you WANT!!!

Crazy.

Writing a pattern to go along with my little project

made it even more FUN!

 

Now...

I'm OFF...

I need to get BUSY in the kitchen!

 

  TURKEY...

STUFFING....

PIES.....

SWEET POTATOES......  YUM!!!!
