Curves class week 2

 . . . is still in progress.  I have finished the first two projects and am working on the third.  I am hoping to do all of the projects; they have all been good practice and lots of fun :)  

I made a couple of cards.  I wasn't able to super-ghetto-Santa-Monica-Michaels to get some blank 5x7 cards, so I used folded over card stock.  I think they turned out pretty cute.

I loved the Rainbow Road project.  I used a Freebird charm pack and some scraps which was WAY MORE fabric than I needed.  Originally this thing was about 15 inches longer but I didn't need it to be that long so I chopped it up.  
 Since I have been working on these projects and a few other things, my house is a disaster and the only clean surface I could find was my kids' dresser.  Embarrassing.  But it is cute there and I think that worked out well.
 My current WIPs . . . I am making a bow tie quilt to donate to a service auction at church.  The top is done and I got the backing today so basting will commence sometime this weekend!

I am also still working on my swoon quilt.  I have 6 out of 9 blocks done and the rest of the fabric cut, I just need to find some time to put it all together :)

What Shade Are You? Blog Hop & Giveaway

A few weeks ago RJR Fabrics contacted me to see if I was interested with working on a project using their solids.  I checked out their colors and was pretty smitten so I said yes. And they exceeded my expectations.  I mixed them in with some of the prints from Rashida Coleman Hale's new Mochi collection .  Since Cotton + Steel is actually a division of RJR fabrics, the RJR solids coordinate perfectly with the collections. The RJR Cotton Supreme Solids have a great selection of pinks (I think good pinks are the hardest to find) and my favorite is actually the neutral-y brown Driftwood color that I used for the binding.  It might not be cool to love brown, but I do, and Driftwood (color 297) will be filling a void in my stash.   The quilt looks more complicated than it actually is: each of the diamonds is made up of 2 triangles (so there are no y-seams) and I cut the fabric with my  favorite triangle ruler .      I didn't want the quiltin...
