Memories...

 All I have now are the memories.

After a week away with Hollis as teacher...I'm energized!

I'm so ready to sew!!!

I'm so ready to CREATE!!!

Being right next to the ocean didn't hurt either!!!

Nature is always a MAJOR inspiration!!!

We learned to paint with dye onto prepared fabric....

 I also did some handstitching on fabric!

Yes....

there was a little bit of shopping going on too!!!!

Can't deny I love CUTE fabric!!!

:)

day two.

Sue Nickels.

Quilter extraordinaire!

And...

I got to take a class from her!

Here's my little practice piece of

Raw edge machine applique.

I don't have the blanket stitch on my machine...

so I zig zagged it.

It looks pretty messy though, huh?

aah! That's better.

I left all those threads hanging...
then Sue explained that I could...
use a
self threading needle
Pull the threads to the back and then...

tie them together!!

What a great idea!!!

If you try this at home,
be sure your threads are nice and long!

Two more days of quilt camp!
woo hoo!!

Look at this little guy enjoying the flower.
Can you see him?

I'd like to sit in a pretty place like that too!

By the way, it's Tuesday.

Oh...you knew that.

Today's the day to pick a winner!!

Drum roll please....

Happy Cottage Quilter gets

some vintage linens!

Yeah!!!

give aways are fun!

Thanks for helping me celebrate 100!!
