Time flys - but finally a minute to post some new creative things:
The holidays bring group gatherings and exchanges - My Friday Night Group - The Grateful Threads - decided that we would exchage house pincushions this year for the holidays -each person made one and we drew numbers to pick our houses.... Here I am the other night acting silly holding all the houses...
This is the house I made - its made from scraps from the book covers I make - I had some constuction issues - but in the end it turned out OK... My friend KF was delighted.
My other group - the Material Girls - decide on a tree theme - and we give to each member of the group - I made each gal a tree journal quilt - 7 in total - including one for me!! Here is mine.
Each are slightly different - but all similar.
Yesterday I tested out the techniques from Gail Garber's book flying colors - on a photo album cover I made for my FIL - we celebrated his 80th BD back in November with a huge party here - the album is filled with photos from that night...
I'm not a paper piecing fan - at all but I do love they abstract effect of the distorted geese and the possibliites this techinque can offer.. I think another bookcover is in order - to test the techniques further before I make class samples....
