Nature's Rhythm

This is named "Nature's Rhythm" design by S.K. Peters for Clothworks. It was a simple quilt but I love the movement of the fabrics and it was very satisfying to make.

Confetti wall hanging

This was the newest technique I have learned. Our local quilt group had a workshop this past week. It is called 'Confetti quilting.' First you make the background with grass, mountains, sky or whatever you choose. Then cut out the tree using  lite heat 'n bond and iron it on. Batik fabric's are cut into tiny pieces and placed and cover the whole picture with tulle and machine quilt.

I was amazed at how it came out. I really enjoyed the process and have many ideas with my own drawings  or you can use any pictures. Our instructor Alvine had many samples of things that she had done.  It was a lot of fun...but I did learn the hard way YOU DO NOT IRON IT or the tulle disintegrates!! It was lots of fun. Size 12" x 14".

60 degree table runner-Octagon mat

Our quilting group had a workshop for a 60 degree table runner. This idea has been around for a while but if I do not have some walk me through certain things it goes right over my head. I finally conquered it and was told to just add a couple more to the octagon. They came out very well and I am pleased with them. These will probably be the only ones I make but at least I challenged myself.
