Sweet Treat Bags

Remember this little bag? I made it to teach a class which I did. I had four students. Three of the students are in my first Wednesday applique group. They brought their finished projects to show and tell. I was so proud to see how they each finished their little embroidery. This one was made by Linda. I love the touch of rick rack sewn on with French knots. Here is Paula's decorated with buttons and lace. I wish I had gotten a better picture of the lace because it is so cute. And Kathleen made hers into a little pincushion with rick rack trim. So sweet. Sorry about the blurry picture. And check this out. Karen Gray Design, the shop where I teach, has her own barn block. Too cool. Karen's shop is also going to be featured in the May Quilt Sampler magazine. You can see the quilt she designed for the magazine on her blog.

I will have more show and tell to share which you have to see. I probably won't do another post until the weekend sometime. I will be really busy for the next few days. But be sure to check back. You won't be disappointed with the show and tell.

Luscious Spring Scarf

Rumi of Lucky Frog blog was having a giveaway for this luscious scarf.

Anyone who made a donation to the Red Cross to help the country of Japan was entered in the drawing. As you can see I was the winner.

The scarf is made from some very soft 100% wool which came all the way from Norway. Look at the lovely knitted design. I have admired Rumi's knitting projects on her blog. I am proud to now own one of her creations.

Thank you so very much Rumi.

Folk Art Tribute So Far

Since I finished the lamb I thought I would put the blocks together and see how it looks. Pretty good, I think. There is one more long block like the pineapple that has yet to be revealed. Can't wait to see what Dawn has for us next.

Sheep!

Well, as you can see I finished the little lamb from Linen Closet Quilts. I think she turned out pretty cute. I am all caught up!

And speaking of sheep, as you can see there is the cover of a book I won from Pat Sloan. She was having a giveaway and I was one of the winners. I probably won't ever get to Ireland so I will just read about Pat's trip which looked like a lot of fun. Some really great quilt projects in the book too. Thanks so much Pat.

Remember this?

It went to this. Another block finished from Linen Closet Quilts. I am now working on a very cute lamb that goes with this block.
