Hello All
I have nothing to show you today.
That is not to say I haven't been busy. I have. It's just that I am making a purse for a contest on CQI and there will be voting and we are not allowed to post any pics as to not influence the voting. I will say though that if you are familiar with my work you will probably be able to pick it out.
On another front, I am in a Secret Sister swap also. I keep meaning to add pics of what my SS had sent. There is only one problem. She sends such great stuff that I tend to tear it out of the package and use it right away. So I never get a chance to take a picture of me. She must know me pretty well or is just good at picking things I will like. Thank you whoever you are.
Not much work being done on Colorstudies right now. Though I do have 8-9 black fabrics to use for my borders.
Sorry for such a boring post. Just not getting a lot done with the girls home for Summer vacation now
I'll find the camera ( wherever it is) and post some more pics soon
Later

A place to show off all my projects especially Crazy Quilts............I am not crafty, simply a creative person with too many children, too many interests and too little time!.....................

More Colorstudies and Molly
Hello All
Here are the hot pink and turquoise blocks for my colorstudy project. I will be putting an all black cq border on with black and silver embellishments. Probably also a big spider web and spider in one color also
Here it is all sewn together. I thought it would be easier to put together before all the beading is done. I tend to put embellishments too far into the seam allowance and have to take them off and then resew. Unfortunately this makes the piece very heavy and it makes it a pain to get to the center blocks

And here is a pic of Molly on her Confirmation day, Tomorrow is her 8th grade Graduation. Just FYI for the family. Molly is now about 5'9" and only 13
