Yellow Brick Road

Today I went and took the YBR class at the LQS....I know I really didn't need to take the class, but I knew it was probably the only way I would make this quilt right now...LOL Here is a pic of the layout and my helper....thank heavens for cameras!

Peek a boo table runner

Weds night I took this class at the LQS. It was quick and fun and surprisingly easy. I just need to fussy cut 4 sunflowers to stitch on and then it will be ready to be quilted.

Today I did something I said I never would do..

Took a class at the LQS on hand piecing. I have always said I do not have the patience or the inclination to learn how to do this. When I signed up for this class I was thinking it was a hand applique class...was checking on the supplies and reading the little sheet they give out and discovered it was piecing! Imagine my surprise....LOL Well I went ahead and took the class and found out it isn't as bad as I thought it would be! We used a rubber stamp to mark the fabric, which helped on time and accuracy. Here is my first attempt..it isn't perfect, but it isn't bad either. Now if I could just get the hang of threading that darn small needle!

Took a bag class last night

Last night the LQS offered another in their series of bag class of the month. We made the Building Block Bag put out by Indigo Junction. Here are a couple pics of the bag. I used the Hoffman Challenge Fabric from 2004 which was an awesome gift from Vicky as my Secret Sister that year! Thanks so much Vicky! I finally made something with some of the fabric....And I just discovered that I left my rotary cutter and scissors there, so need to make a phone call and see if they found them.....

Sailboat

Went to quilt class last night and made this really cute sailboat table topper. It went together really quick and was pretty easy.....I just need to tack down the border in even increments and then topstitch down the curves that will be made by the tacking...then it's on to backing, quilting and binding!
