Gone Fishing.

My 3 year old friend wanted to go fishing, so we quickly whipped up these little fellas in his favorite color. Tie yarn onto a stick and you're good to go!

More Quilts

A few projects that ladies from my quilt club were working on:
A sweet project that I was able to catch a glimpse of.
Black and white "Trip Around the World." I'm in love.
A member of our quilt club recently moved away, so many of us made her a quilt block. We'll send them to her and let her assemble them any way that she wants. I won't tell which one is mine. =)

Printing Fabric

Our dance group is participating in a dance festival this week and I was asked to make a quilt block to represent our group.


I grabbed some fabric scraps and searched for a quick pattern. I ended up making my own variation of a 12 inch Churn Dash.
Mom suggested printing the middle block. So I did!

I took a piece of card stock paper and put double sided tape all over it- smoothed out fabric to fit and voila! It was quite fun. My points don't match up, and I used red thread (my signature) to sew it together. I think it'll work out fine, after it is all quilted.
