Nimble Thimbles in November

We had a good meeting on Friday at Linda's house.

Just getting around to sharing.

Ilana made this great bag for Geocaching.

You can check out the link if you don't know what geocaching is.

Basically it is a global hunting game using a handheld GPS.

Pretty cool!  And the bag is GREAT!

 Nancy brought some African fabrics to give to Ilana (how cool?)

 I love this one.

 We are getting ready for our next challenge.

It is my turn.

I decided that this barn is what I would like a quilt of.

I enlarged it, sliced it up and handed it out

It will January or February before the pieces are due.

Can't wait to see this one.

Flowers

I taught a class earlier this month on these flowers.

This method is from The Buggy Barn technique.

I love my quilt (still need to quilt it, of course).

 These are some of the blocks made by students in class.

They each did a great job.

I hope they share the finished projects with me soon.

I love to see what each creates with different fabric choices.

Well, tomorrow I have a meeting with my Nimble Thimble group.

I should have some fun stuff to share on the blog tomorrow.

Stay tuned.

Blog at you then,

New Fabrics, New Patterns

100th Blog and new patterns,

how exciting is this??

 These are 3 new fabric lines that

Exclusively Quilters put up on their website today.

I wanted to make sure that the patterns are up as well.

The one above is obviously Tigers, made from their Tiger line.

The next line is called: My Universe

The pattern is called:  Trails though the Universe

 

The third line is called:  Green with Envy

The quilt is:  Fun & Crazy - Green with Envy.

I have posted the pictures of these quilts on my website as well.

Come on over and check it out.

International Mysteries

I filled in for Dawna today.

I played with the ladies from the International Mysteries Class.

Two brought quilts to share from last months mystery.

 I think it is really cool how differently they can be put together.

I really enjoyed the afternoon.

Thanks for the fun,

Tiffany

Leni's Lovely Quilts

I went to Bolts last night for their Ferns Friendship Friday.

I showed up in my PJ's, just because they let me.

While there, Leni shared a couple of her quilts.

She will be sending these off soon.

 I teased that this one wasn't gonna make it back to Leni's.

But you know I was just teasing.

I sure do love this one though.

It's made with batiks.

My favorites!

Lotsa Blocks!!

Checkerboard Blocks!!

These quilts are gonna be lovely!!

We had a good time in class this morning.

These blocks belong to Liz.

Good job, Liz!

 These are Sheryl's blocks.

She pulled from her stash and purchased a background fabric.

I love to see how quilts turn out with different fabric choices.

 These blocks belong to Laurie.

They are gonna be great.

We used the Accu-quilt in class today.

Want to talk about speeding up the cutting process.

Wow!!

You can cut so many strips so quick.

Each student in class went home with strips cut

so they can get right to their homework.

Class again on the 30th.

There will be more to share on the Checkerboards then.

I've been working on some applique for and secret exchange.

I will get to share my quilt as well as many others

after we exchange in December.

That will be a blog to look forward to.

I should have a peaceful day at home tomorrow.

Lets see what I can get done and what I will be able to share.

Keep hanging on to see what happens next,

Feeling Better!

The antibiotics are working!!!

I feel human again!!

I took Lindsay for a check-up with the

orthopedic doctor this morning

and then worked the rest of the day at Bolts.

Tomorrow morning I will be teaching the

Checkerboard Batik

It is a fun quilt, the blocks are made from 2  1/2" strips.

We will be using the Accu-quilt in class
to get those strips cut in a jiffy!
 We plan to have a great time.
I will try to remember the camera
and see if we can get some action shots to share.

For now,
Goodnight,
Tiffany

Feeling Under the Weather, Maybe this will Help!

 I think this sums it up.

I have had swollen lymph nodes and a fever the last few days.

I have felt like crap,

and of course I haven't achieved much.

I went to urgent care yesterday,

got some antibiotics and

I am feeling a little better today.

Now to do laundry and such.

Here is my design board.

It is feeling very stagnant.

 I really need to finish this Kittie quilt so I can move on.

 Here is just one of my many piles of projects.

Today's big task is to quilt this quilt Grandma Toni sent me.

I have to do something to it and send it back to her today!!

She suggested stitch in the ditch, 

but I really don't care for stitch in the ditch!

I think I will do something fun in the sashing.

I can't really do much in the blocks,

they are constructed by different groups

and therefore constructed with very unique techniques,

some of which I cannot get a needle through.

Well, wish me luck.

I still plan to take it easy for most of the day,

don't want to wear myself out and be back on the couch.

Blog at you soon,

Tiffany
