The Tuesday Girls and Their Projects

on
 A little peek into projects finished and in  progress. When possible, I find that I am happiest and most inspired when surrounded by other sewists. 

Left is one of  Jenny's Mini-quilts, a collection of techniques with raw edge applique in hand-dyed fabrics and thread work, beautiful.
Susan is going to gift a lucky baby with the soft as silk flannel rail fence quilt. So practical and pretty. 



I am always looking for charming patterns for children's quilts because they need to be fun, pretty and washable. The rail-fence pattern is easy and fills all the requirements.This link will show just how many  possible lay-outs that you could try for this pattern. 
Rail Fence Lay-outs
 Karen has been a busy bee. This pieced and strip panel quilt is so lovely in person. Unfortunately, the camera does not do the colors justice. I am thinking I should have photographed it outside.

 the red narrow border on the outside is a flange piece. So unique.
 Susan has been using up the scraps stash on these two table runners. The blue one in the front is pieced, quilted and the binding is applied. Made from scraps from a recent gift quilt, she used the walking foot to quilt the curly loops.








I absolutely love the colors and Asian influence of this one.


Something a little different from Linda Sue this day, spinning. She recently took a fiber arts class at a local university and feels this has greatly improved her understanding and technique. These balls of yarn (Alpaca I think) represent the process of spinning thinner and thinner yarn. The little ball on the far left is a two-ply result. Beautiful natural colored yarn.

Have you ever heard of " Patti the Garden Girl?" You must check this video out. She spins wool, from her own sheep and rabbits in a sweet little garden shed! The Garden Girl

In this video, Megan shows how to prepare the wool and uses a drop spinner like the one Linda Sue is learning to use. more spinning, the drop spindle
