I am actually going to share 2 projects. The first is 1 from a book called Curiosities and Mischief by Nancy Halvorsen @ www.arttoheart.com. I love Nancy's books. She has so many fun ideas. When I first saw this book, I knew I had to get it, because the grandkids that she features in it, just so happens to live around the corner from me, and I love them. Good reason to buy a book, right? That is a reason, but I loved the projects in this book.
The project I am working on is a butterfly. She has it on a pillow, but I am going to use it as a wall hanging. I had planned to get it all done, but I got kind of busy this month, with doing things in the basement, almost finished with the remodel, and I was sick and in bed for the first week of the month, and then crazy overtime at work. Not complaining, just saying life happens.
I am doing hand applique, which I really love to do. When I get this done, I want to make some more and turn it into a fun butterfly quilt.
The 2nd project is quilting. I have this book called 501 quilting motifs. It is a fun book and for this quilt , I found some fun quilting designs that I used. This one is loopy stars. Not great at it, but I will keep practicing.
Please check out all the other bloggers who have posted this week. Next month I have 2 more blog hops, and I will make sure those projects are complete.

ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, unfortunately life does get in the way of quilting :-) That's going to be a cute butterfly. It's always fun trying out new FMQ patterns.
