My New Quilting Project

My Button It Up! Bag

Here is a bag I completed over the weekend. The photos are of the front and back of the bag. It was inspired from a tote class some quilting friends did over the weekend. The pattern is called Button It Up! from Patti D. Designs. We picked it up at PIQF in October. The bag the designer did was using a Paris fabric but, I went another directions since I love purple and bright colors. It measures: approximately: 17x13x5. I also modified the straps adding a binding and widening them from the original design. My friend, Melodee Wade a long arm quilter showed me how.

Rays of Sunshine Finally Quilted

Rays of Sunshine has been quilted.  I love the way it came out and I'm sure the recipient will love it.

Stash and Dash Bags

This litttle bag is adorable. I also used the heat and bond vinyl for the lining .  I will be making more today.   I used Amy Butler's pattern. Try them.

Landscape

I have been completing a landscape from a photo I loved.  It's not completed yet, but I thought I'd share.

My Double Quilt Transformation

As I mentioned the other day; I took a class with Rose Hughes at PIQF for her Double Quilt method.  I am sharing with you as this quilt transforms.  Today I am sharing the addition of applique.  I have a few more ideas that will be inserted on the quilt.

PIQF 2011

There were beautiful quilts on display as usual at PIQF and of course many tool and stash building opportunities.  I went everyday except one.  It's always fun to catch up with friends you haven't seen to find out their latest projects too.  Saturday, I also took class with Rose Hughes from Ravenspeak Quilts.  Had a lot of fun and now in the process of completing my masterpiece.  :-)  I'm attaching the work in progress and will be adding embellishments & applique work to it over the next week or so. 

I wish I could have taken more classes, but I'm learning that sometimes less is more.  I was so exhausted after all the creative juices were flowing on Saturday I crashed at 8 PM.  That's heck of early for me.  Although I made up for it on Sunday. :-)

Silence in Motion

I've been a bit silent for a while.  Not that I haven't been working on things.  This is one of the latest quilts I have completed.  It's a OBW- One Block Wonder.  I used Maxine Rosenthal's book.  I will probably do another one using some of the other techniques for cubes and border adaptations.

I am also attaching the fabric I used.

My First Molded Cup Bra

Here is a photo of my most recent bra.

Advance Bra Making

Here is my bra from the  my bra making class. I think it came out well.  It's amazing how well a custom bra fits.

Lingerie Class

This past fall, I took a class a Canada College to learn lingerie techniques.  Here is my final project.  I may never go back to Victoria Secrets again.

Bra Making 3 Times A Charm

I have been taking bra making classes with Marijane Johnson. She is great. This bra was the third try one I made from her basic bra making class. I will post the one I am completing from the Advanced Bra Making class shortly. These are great class.  She is extremely patient and a wealth of information. Marijane is also quite resourceful. If anyone is interested in learning bra making, this is a great person to learn from.
