And more books..

I love Crazy Quilts,, I know you can use scraps with other quilts,, but withe CQ, you can do other embellishments that just make the quilt "pop" that you don't do with other quilts.. like adding lace pieces..even if they are just little strips,, or lace medallions with Cq's you can use up things that are just setting around,, maybe one day I will get to doing one... yeah right!!!

 I am finally getting my book list whittled down,, only half a dozen more to go.. slight exaggeration there,, well maybe... hehe...

New book.

I seen this in Jo Ann's while back. so before I got it,, I looked it up Pattern Review  my go to place for info on sewing,,, anyway,, I found several interesting comments,, on it,, so I went back and looked through it more.. and got it.. I have only read a little but so far,, I love it,,, I am a very visual person,, it doesn't have a lot of info on "lots" of  the garments, but it has thorough  instructions on finishing the edges of neck lines and armholes,, that will help a lot,, 

Something different.

I love embroidered quilts. I have several sets of designs laying in wait to be made, but ya no!!! One I have had for about 5 yrs,, there is it,,just setting in my hard drive,, waiting,,, for me to get up and get going,, well my going is finally starting to get up.. lol..

Introducing quilt #1, the Latte quilt by Kerri Hey, I absolutely love to look of this quilt,, and doing a search online last yr,, I found a class on it,, it actually started last Sept,,, yeh I know I'm a little late,, it is taught by Serena Smith,, she sends out info each month on each block,, I am actually glad I havent' started till now,, cause I like making the blocks one after another, instead of waiting each month for the next one,,,

This is what the completed quilt will look like,,

This is what I have done so far,,

This is the printed pic of the 1st block, I still have to put the umbrellas on mine,, hopefully by tomorrow I will have it finished and be ready for the next block...
