Snow Horse Panel...


 A new fabric panel is on the design wall

 


Horses in the snow...





I am making a few snowflake blocks

to see if they will work as a border treatment...





This is the back side of the snowflakes,

they are foundation paper pieced...





I would never attempt these

if they weren't paper pieced.....eek!





Lots of intricate cutting and piecing has

been made simple by paper piecing...





It takes about 8 hours to

paper piece each block...





I just put on a DVD series,

relax and sew...





I take my time and enjoy the process...




When I am not sewing

I am with the Cowboy making hay...


The mowing, raking and baling are done...

we are now picking up the bales

and storing them away for the winter.





We picked up 100 bales today

in 95 degree heat.

Swoon B.O.M...

In April my Wednesday quilt group

The Harlan Valley Quilters

began our Swoon Quilt-A-Long

 


The first Wednesday of each month

we piece a new Swoon Quilt Block...





Each block requires 2 fat quarters...





as well as a background fabric...





Each member chose her own fabrics...





We will be making 9 blocks each...





It is fun choosing the two fat quarters

for the block each month...





These are my Swoon quilt blocks...



At the end of this year

we will finish our quilt tops...

More To Come !

Garden Tea Party Quilt...

 I am starting a new quilt project

on Wednesdays....


I am a sucker for large florals...





This Garden Tea Party Quilt kit

has been in my fabric cupboard since 2009...

I forgot all about it.....eek !




The interior of the quilt is all large cut blocks

and the edge is all fussy cut applique shapes...





These tea pots and flowers are the size

of my hand...





What a treat to work with all of these

beauties every Wednesday all summer long...





The blocks are cut large, which will

show off all of the large motifs...





The blocks are all different sizes

and it took an entire Wednesday to cut

all of them out...




Last Wednesday I started piecing the blocks

into long panels...





3 panels....in progress





This is as far as I got last week...

I am looking forward to starting the

applique work...
