Creative Workshop Bliss

 This afternoon I set aside some time like going to a class....
I have been thinking about this for a week and thinking of a plan....
I had a few rules....I would do something just being creative...
AND not necessarily for the finished product....
And I would call it "Creative Workshop Bliss".............

 I started with no plan......I drew out a tree and snowbanks with an air erasable pen...
then I forgot my first rule to treat it like going to a class....
or meeting with friends to enjoy a time together....
off I went to clean the bathrooms....oops...when I came back the lines were gone!!!...
so I just started sewing and sewing....deciding as I went along...
with some free motion sewing and zendoodling....
wheeee.....what a fun time....
then I took my Paintstix and put some color on the snow hills and tree....
not sure what I will do with this next....
I will plan some more of these sessions to try new things...
and practice my zendoodling....it is so relaxing......

Here is my batik rails that I have been quilting....
I am writing little messages in some of the light strips....
laugh every day.....
today I will choose joy....  etc
Today I also checked out my new My Memories software...
I had a fun day....how about you?

projects, roses and a finish

 Here is a springy tablerunner with Eden charm squares I finished today...

 I blogged about it before in October....

 I changed the quilting with each square and some I followed the fabric design..

 I took a photo of my roses today..the name of the rose is Paradise Found...

 here is my batik rail fence quilt with center quilting started....

here is the same March FMQ Challenge sample with the paintstix I blogged about this week...

but now I used Smooch taffy on the heart...

and on the flower to the right of the heart I used twinkling H2Os fuzzy peach...

I was checking to see what I liked the best....

Actually I like to work with all three of these items!!

Smiles and hugs....Caryl

I have four projects in the corner of my living room just waiting for me....
I need to make some progress on them before I start something  new....

I really enjoy looking at so many things that everyone is doing....blogs, pinterest, flickr, quilt mashup, facebook, twitter, etc....got to get busy now...

FIU rail fence

This rail fence quilt was started several years ago... I used KiwiBerry Bali Pops.... Last month I sewed the blocks together.... I came to a standstill on this because I haven't found the backing... I may have to piece fabrics for the back... I will machine quilt it with some of the quilting designs from the FMQ Challenge.... Today I decided to join up with Connie at Quilting by the River for Linky Party Tuesday.... Smiles and hugs....Caryl
