Kissing Fans

I started this project in response to a challenge from my Manager. She kept asking me to make a circular quilt. I had so much fun! I used a circular attachment for my machine. Then I went to town sewing circles. I used every scrap piece of thread in the drawer and every stich on the machine.

 When I was done sewing flowers I started on a Halloween theme and a black, white and red composition.

When all was said and done, I made a class out of the technique. I only hope my students will think it’s as easy and fun as I did!

This one was a fun project

This quilt was a gift to myself on my birthday. I just loved the colors and needed to do something with them. I had plenty of fabric left for the cute wall hanging. I have adored the pattern and waited for the perfect fabric to make it.

So I think I can quilt... it?

I started this quilt thinking I would add elaborate quilting to fill in the "white" space and now I'm scarred. "Practice makes perfect" they say. So I am hoping I can summon the courage to jump in and commit to finishing the project. I need to find a way to inspire myself to finish these projects when I get to a point that I am stuck, worried, nervous, afraid of how they might look when done. Some sort of a mantra to get myself past the stuck and into the done. Any suggestions?
