I needed a few more class samples...

It was a good excuse to get out the shaving cream and play!

Only time to make 5 prints...but it was fun!

I am happy with the thread color stitched in...

I hate to play favorites........but, how cute is this!

While the Mama Cows rest.......the babies play together!

A wonderful way to relax this evening...

The early evening light was perfect for photographs.

The calves were curious about the camera.

A day at the Goat Barn...

Kid Goats

When I need a good laugh........I head for the

goat barn!

These baby goats are so entertaining...

Baby Goats like to gang up together and chase each other around the barn.

This guy is one of my favorites

He is so stocky for a baby goat!

Love the white tip on the end of his tail...

This image just might make it into a quilted textile someday...

Take a look at those loooong white ears!

A day at the goat barn.........the BEST!

I am prepping journal quilts for a new exhibit at the hospital next week.

Woven Quilt........Class Sample 2

Click Images to Enlarge:

Inspiration

I keep a pile of trimmings on my cutting table.

This is what I am using to inspire my next woven quilt.

Let's see what happens...

I separated my black and white stash into just that.......Blacks & Whites

Here are the black strips pinned down to the insulation board

The strips are cut randomly between 3/4 to 1 1/4 inches.

Underneath the strips is a 9 x 12 inch piece of fusible interfacing.

The black strips are laying against the fusible side.

The white strips have been woven horizontally through the black strips

Keep the piece on the weaving board....

Press the strips onto the fusible interfacing.

This will keep the strips from shifting.

Remove the strips from the weaving board.

Flip the piece over and iron directly on the fusible interfacing.

This will help keep everything secure.

Laying face down, trim off the excess strips.

Your piece will measure 9 x 12 inches.

Weaving is complete...

You are ready to add borders.

I just had to add the pink inner border as a zinger!

Thread Audition...

I chose shiny rayon, polyester and glitter threads

Bobbin Thread...

I am using a very fine weight Bottom Line thread in the bobbin

Remember.......tighten the bobbin screw to accommodate the thinner thread.

Right Tighty - Lefty Loosey

Machine Quilting...

Random wavy lines of quilting using ALL of the threads above.

This was very fun and freeing.
