guild block exchange blocks

this month's blocks are called flying kite...
the photo shows all the blocks done by others...

a fun paper piecing project....
each block had four papers....
with four pieces in each...

one block was black on white print...
the centers were to be bright...

the other block was white on black print...
now this is passed on to the next person...

Zentangle

this photo is from a page in my creative journal from last week....

I got my first zentangle books at the end of February...

soooo when did this fascination with zentangle start?....
Last April I saw a stamped flower by Laura on the blog color whimsy....

then in May I started following the blog The Quilt Rat....
Jill Buckley does some amazing work...
She is one of the artists in the Zentangle Fabric Arts book...
this book is FILLED with ideas and inspiration....

for those who like to doodle....
you will love doing zentangle......

I will be stamping on fabric...
and then free motion quilting small quilts....
also doing zentangles on cards...

AND....the ideas are endless....
Smiles and hugs....Caryl

giddy postage stamp quilt

this is a side view...

very easy for anyone....
just follow Rachel's quilt along....
Smiles and hugs....Caryl
