I'll be missing you

I finally got the time, nerve, whatever to start the BOM from CR. I finished blocks 1, 2, and 3 but messed up on the cutting of block 4 twice (sewed the fabric back together and then cut the wrong square into quarters.) Anyway, I think the blocks are beautiful now that I can look at the finished block and not just the fabrics. The little blankets are from the pattern Crazy Eights (Jan, this might be a cute pattern to use for your red fabrics=) No, I'm not coveting=) Someone gave me a bag of scraps for the dog beds and the pieces were too big (in my opinion) to toss so I cut them into the proper sized squares and made 5 little blankets (22 X 22) for Newborns in Need. Hope to see you in April=)

The fabrics in this quilt by Ricky Tims was all hand dyed by himself.  It was beautiful and vibrant.  The quilting was amazing and also all quilted by Ricky on his Bernina. Gave us hope!  He showed us how he did it and it didn't look so hard. (right?)  He told us practice, practice, practice.  He has a dvd on quilting that might be worth getting.


Shopping was expensive and all three of us spent a lot more than we expected but we were in the moment!  And it was so much fun too!

JoAn, Donna and Jeanene went to the Ricky Tims Super Quilt Seminar earlier this month and were wowed by what we saw, heard and learned.  It was fun to talk to Alex Anderson and her husband, and learn and laugh with Ricky Tims.

Wish you could have been there and we have lots to share with our quilting sisters.
