Let Them Flourish is finished!
from Quilting & Learning
If you've been following me on Instagram, you've seen lots of images of the progress of this piece. Lately I've been adding a gazillion French Knots, finishing up the beading and then finally mounting it on a fabric-covered canvas.
Let Them Flourish - Ready for Exhibition

| Let Them Flourish (aka Biodiversity) |
In the Beginning
This piece started off as a fabric collage of images related to Biodiversity, the theme that was given to us as part of the February 2021 TextileArtist.org's Stitch Club workshop. Kate Tume, our instructor, had us exploring narrative potential with embellishment.

Beading Class Fun
from Alamosa Quilter
Last week we had a beading class at my shop. The ladies were learning to bead while making mitten ornaments. We had two kits - a snowflake mitten and a pine branch mitten.
One of these ladies had never beaded before while the other one has done a little beading in the past. Can you guess which one is the newbie? I know, but I won't tell. And I bet you can't guess based on their workmanship because they both did great!

Simple embroidery, relaxing with a needle for no particular purpose.
Well I guess the purpose is the enjoyment, the pleasure and definitely the relaxation.

Roads
from Quilt Paint Create
The challenge quilt, renamed Roads Less Traveled, is finished. I cleaned up the sewing room last night to make space for new projects.
I chose not to post a full picture until we find out if our quilts are accepted for the exhibit. I’m not sure of the rules and don’t want to create a problem.
But I will show a section of the quilt where I did a lot of beading.
It’s one of my favorite parts, along with the birds.
This project definitely got me back in the quilting groove. I retreat to the sewing ...

Sunday Stash March 6, 2022
from Quilt Paint Create
I finally have something to report!
The challenge quilt is quilted, the facing is done and the sleeve is on. I’m sewing beads on now.
It still needs a label, a compass and more beads, but the end is near. Best of all I can count the fabric out.
I have to turn it in next weekend. I can’t wait to start something new.
Fabric In: 0.5yards
Fabric Out: 2.5 yards

How did you do this week?

Isolation Charity Sewing - Part 1
from Sew........This Is My Blog
During the Covid isolation I didn't just sit around doing nothing. Well, actually I did for the first six or seven months. Once I came out of my funk I did get into my sewing room. I managed to make several charity quilts for Project Linus to be donated through my guild, the Rocket City Modern Quilt Guild.
First up are two super simple quilts I made from my stack of 5" brights. I have so many children's prints, novelty prints, and brights that every once in a while I cut up a bunch of them into 5 ...
