what if??

yesterday Lin at Sending Hugs showed fabric flowers...
there was a tutorial on hero arts blog...
I had to try it....
Here are the supplies I used:
Michael Miller garden pindots fabric
Hero Arts stencil flower CG194
Fabrico ink sky mist
Fabrico marker #139 pale aqua
Distress Ink tumbled glass watered down and brushed lightly
King Tut #927 thread...
batting under the fabric and used free motion stitching

I like to use prisma pencils and copic markers...
so I decided to do the same design and compare them...
Supplies used:
Stampendous poppy scene stamp
the left photo I used prisma pencils and gamsol
the right photo I used copic markers
I put glossy accents on the poppies

friends and flowers

a nurse friend retired yesterday...
I used the recipe from Moda Bake Shop...
I quilted with my usual loops, hearts, stars and words....

I used a LARGE cardboard to lay out the charm squares...
I used Mary Englebreit friends and flowers by Moda....

this was very fun to make and my friend loved it...

AND she gave me some presents....
ME microwave bag (we both love ME stuff) and a monogram candle...
she's moving to Lake Arrowhead and I wish her the best!!

long list to the quilt shop

how lucky to have 20% off on everything at a local quilt shop...

I have a lot of projects I am working on...
and more I need to start...

and the 20% off is for the entire month of August!!!
I got a baby quilt kit which included a book....
but I already had an idea of what I wanted to make...
I got the kit because of the Beatrix Potter fabrics...
but this fabric is not working into my original plans...
I'll either change the plans or change the fabrics!!
Smiles and hugs....Caryl
