Mirror Mirror Inchie Set
I've so admired when other artists make a set or series of inchies so this is my set of Mirror Mirror inchies. I rather like them.

Mirror Mirror Inchie
Wow, what a challenging inchie. The challenge on Inching Artists was 'What do you see when you look in the mirror?' I see myself growing into the person I was meant to be. This is my inchie representing that. I used some silver ribbon to represent the mirror and the flowers for me. Hope you like it.

This is my first attempt at using Lutradur and lace. The new zine Fibre and Stitch issued a challenge to use Lutradur and Lace to create a new 'fabric' with lots of texture. I'm pretty pleased with the results. I'll use it to make a cover for a sketch book.

Inchie
Wowie wowie this is my first inchie! This piece of art is 1 inch by 1 inch. Boy was it hard to photograph. I finally took a picture of a quilt block with the inchie on it and then cropped it. I discovered a new blog called 'Inching Artists' http://inchingartists.blogspot.com/. This week's theme was 'wings'. Just happened to have the dragonfly button. I love it.

Like most artists, I have lots of WIP (works in progress) as well as a few UFOs (unfinished objects). These blocks were made from a pattern from Contemporary Quilts. I've been looking for stash busters and I had a lot of purple. I'm using purple, blue and green with striping in yellow. The final quilt will have about 75 block and I'll name it 'Pansy something'. I've made 8 blocks so far and have already cut all the main fabric. Some additional cutting of the yellow to come.

Well, doesn't this palm leaf have cool pattern? I'd love to incorporate it into a quilt.
I decided I didn't have enough projects to do, so I signed up for a new ezine and it seems terrif.
The first challenge issued is a Lutradur and Lace project. It looks great.... so I'm waiting for supplies I ordered online.

Birthday Block Swap
Tuesday, September 11, 2007
This beautiful peony grew for several years in my garden in New Jersey. When we moved to Florida, I dug up this one and all the others and distributed them amongst family members. This photo was take by my sister Pam in Boston. This is the first year it bloomed there. Long time gone but the quilting has been going on fast and furious. I'm taking an online course at Quilt University called Flower Power. This is a mock up I made to see if the color choices were going to work out. Over all, I like it but think it needs work in the light area center top. Love the classes there. I made a Stack 'n Whack, a needle turn appliqué Hawaiian Quilt, learned some beading techniques and some embellishment. Wish I had time for more!
