Quilt Camp Projects





Although I didn't complete these at camp, I did start them and decided to finish them right away so they wouldn't end up in the UFO pile. I am amazed at this paper piecing pattern I decided to try and do in honor of Rose. wow, the thousands of tiny pieces and the assembly instructions left alot to be desired. Anyway, I got it together, barely, and not perfectly, just don't look too close. I am sharing the back too, since that is where the rats nest really is! Where are the ironing police when you need them!? The bulk at the intersections was incredible! I was sewing over mountains and at one point I thought it would be easier to brush the threads verses cutting them. On Saturday we found this chalk board fabric and Marta and I both made these travel chalk mats, her for her niece, mine are for my grandkids. So cute and easy, email me if you want more information on it.

You finished the cat!!!! Crazy! The art mat came out cute. Annie loved hers. I found some great chalk I had in my studio but too nice to give to her, but looks great on the chalkboard cloth. I think I'm going to pull out the sewing machne and do some project today...go figure!

Paper-piecing was something I was doing for a while, but tearing off all those little bits of paper, while very satisfying ("rip!"), kinda got tedious. All those itty bitty pieces of paper to pick off - a little too obsessive for me. The results sure can be stunning, though, worth the effort, as your cat block wonderfully shows...
