Benartex Project #2- Peacock Petals from Nestlings By Robin

We round up the first quarter of the year

with my second Benartex project....

Peacock Petals using fabrics

from the Peacock Symphony

line by David Galchutt.

It hit store shelves in January so

keep an eye out for it.

Deep rich colors and

a spring vibe kept niggling at

the back of my mind.

I thought about 2 particular

design workshops that I

adore teaching, Scrapplique'

and Fabric Collaborations.

Both concepts along with these

two fabrics inspired

my work for this challenge.

Thankfully the style of the fabric

goes beautifully with my own

aesthetic of swirls and dots!

Admittedly, I ...

WHERE did summer go?? from Nestlings By Robin

WOW!

I looked up and it is September already:)

Hopefully this means that your summer was

as busy and fun as mine was and you are

just as surprised as I am.

Since I last wrote, this is what I

have been up to...

VEGAS

I will never get to actual Venice so a gondola ride

at the Venetian was lovely especially when

you have the BEST singer in the whole city

and you are with your best friend and love!

Here is my lovely crew waiting

to get in to see Santana!

I knew I knew a few songs ...

FQSG Antique Quilt Block Challenge from Nestlings By Robin

The March 2021 issue of

AQ magazine is out and inside

you will find an article by Moi :)

Last year the Florida Quilt

Study Group did an antique

block challenge with very

few rules, thankfully!

I was overly ambitious and

worked on 2 blocks because

each had different fabrics that spoke

to me. Using techniques

from my Fabric Collaborations

workshop, I created 2 unique pieces

and then wrote an article about

the process for AQ.

Our Fabulous exhibit is

now on display

at THE Quilters Hall of Fame

in Marion, Indiana.

THANK YOU,

KATHY METELICA CRAY!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME:) from Nestlings By Robin

Another year passes and

how do we mark them?

This year has had many

challenges and one was all

my work cancellations.

As October approached, 2

contracts remained and both

groups decided to go forward.

So the day before my birthday

I taught one of my favorite

workshops ever,

Fabric Collaborations

to the

Florida Sewing Sew-ciety up

at the Lake Yale Baptist Center

near Leesburg, FL

.

Beautiful setting and a

FABULOUS group of ladies.

They really took my inspiration

and made it their own.

Below is Margaret Travis and

her sister, Marie.

Margaret is known for her Fabulous

Cheerleading in ...
