Here's Wanda's fabric from Round Robin

Well, this was a challenge. I decided to over dye in fushia and then added the paint stick swirls to it. I think it's starting to grow on me. Not sure if Wanda is getting this back ;0) Hugs.

Greetings

Well I've been really busy lately. Got the garge cleaned out so I could in good conscience play with my new mid arm quilting machine. I also got into a round robin for a surface design group that has been interesting and I will post those pictures too.

This was my yard of fabric and the design I painted on. Kinda thought I saw turtles swiming in the grass.
This was the next person's I got. I added the paint stick flowers
This was Suzan's. She had used orange on white dye and then the next person did it up in salmon color dye and I added the geometric paint stick design.

This is the ne Pfaff mid arm Grand Quilter. I could wish for a londer neck space yet when I think of the killed price I got plus 1500 off for their mix up I really can't complain for what I want to do with it. Still have some thread issues to deal with, but nothing we won't get a handle on eventually. Irene's quilt is on the frame in this picture.

Paper Piecing class

Hello to all,
School starts tomorrow with two days of teacher stuff then we're off to the races. So I managed to get the sample done for a paper piecing class I'm teaching in West Virginia in December. It is based on Karen Stone's New York beauties and I modified her boarder for this small one. It's 24 X24 . Came out pretty good. Anyone interested in taking the class can contact me or Sheryl Carpenter at the Parkersburg Sewing and Quilting Center. sewwithsheryl@yahoo.com or hardly3r2001@yahoo.com. My email is lesabame@sbcglobal.net. I'm doing a snowman block swap that need out by Monday so will post again with pictures of those.
Hugs to all with hope that this will be a good school year.
