Solid Notions

What's going on?

The answer is lot's.

I have been taking classes at my LQS which has resulted in more unfinished projects to manage.  Most of which are from classes that I have been taking to gain skills to work on more challenging projects.  I'll be posting some projects that I would like to share.

In the mean time, there has been a few big sales at my LQS and birthday discounts (Happy Birthday to me) in August that has allowed me to gather fabric for a few quilt for me projects I have pulled from various books and blogs I follow. 

The first one is El Camino Real: Quilts Inspired by Early California History, by Nancy and Oliver Rink.  I have been working on another applique project where I have been learning how to do needle turn applique.  I think I am going to attempt to do this one by hand to continue to develop that skills.  Up until now I have been doing only applique by machine.

 

 

The Candy Scraps Quilt is the other project I'm in love that uses pre-cut candy charm packs, featured on the Moda Bake Shop blog I follow.  It has been real hard to find Linen Mochi Dot Unbleached Linen and I was about to order online until Oklahoma Quiltworks stocked it.  There was a collective cheer from my guild mates when we all got the newsletter from the shop in was on the shelf.  This quilt callls for big stich quilting that is popular among a few of the guild members.

Time to get organized update the project list.
