I was inspired to pull out some pieces and PLAY. I went for a little more than 15 minutes but I had fun. I have "little ones" for the rest of the weekend and most of next week, so I won't get to do anymore sewing most likely.
Here are my play pieces. Only one of them is a full block but the other pieces will be added to and become bigger another day.
I hope your 'quilting weekend' is being fun and/or productive.

I took a class with Victoria last summer when I won a scholarship at Quilting by the Lake. She is awesome and her book is terrific. I keep going back to it as a reference. I have some of the quilts made this way on my blog.
ReplyDeleteSaori quilting! Who woulda thunk it?!
ReplyDeleteI did some quilting decades ago --- a couple of bed sized quilts, a few wall quilts. I still have a pieced quilt top tucked away in a dresser drawer awaiting it's filling and backing.
fun blocks Gene I remember years ago my Mom went to a quilt retreat and it was quilting in this manner-totally out of her comfort zone but she had fun with it
ReplyDeleteVery neat, and as always, colorful!
ReplyDeleteI too took in some of the Quilt Show episodes. More on the plate for me today.
ReplyDeleteI love the results of your playtime! Have fun with the little ones!
ReplyDeleteHi Gene! Fellow Alabamian here - just wanted to pop in and say Hi and share support for a fellow Alabama artist. Your quilts are stunning!
ReplyDeleteNice blocks, Gene. I worked on machine embroidery for National Quilting Day...those machine embroidered blocks will end up in a quit so that should count.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I love about you Gene...you just go for it and add your own twist and style....love it!
