Improv Support Group

Thanks to my Improv Support Group who answered my desperate pleas seeking approval in that last post.  You helped me tremendously.  

If you didn't see it at first, the pattern is called Winter from Sujata Shah's book called Cultural Fusion.  Hers are more controlled colors an textures and look beautiful.  She is a master of improv.  My computer keeps auto-correcting and telling me I need to improve my skills in improv. 

I was thinking I  could find a nice center medallion and use these as the border........I will look  into that possibility.  

Ohhhhh.....Secret Secrets......

I am seeking a few dog (or cat - you guys are wonderful too) lovers to help me with a project that I am not going to publicize on my blog.  I will contact a few of you I know who might want to do this tiny little project, but if you want to step up and help, let me know.  It will literally take you less than 15 or 20 minutes and cost under $1.  But the benefit will be incredible.

I won't ask publicly again, so email me at obed101 (at) cox.net if you want to help.

It is a good thing to do.  Contact me.

Stash Report and A Next!

You know me by now.  I gotta be working on something!  So here are the next few things.

When Frank had all those points from his sales awards, I thought they were better spent on quilt books rather than those silly B Sci-Fi movies like The Creature From The Planet Zorgon.

And Cultural Fusion was one of them I chose.  Since then I have seen so many of the modern (and not so modern) quilts make fabulous quilts from this book.  I was so jealous they were having such a good time in Sew Alongs with Sujata herself, that I thought I would at least try some on my own.

So if you have the book, and want to do a Sew Along, LETS GO!

Here are two blocks from the book.

This one is simply a ton of scraps from my existing (and never ending) scrap boxes.  I paired up dark and light and made a kit to take with me to retreat.




This one is from garments I purchased for 99 cents at The Purple Cow.  The stripes were crop pants and the leafy things was a linen shirt.  the beige was a sofa fabric sample that softened after it was washed.  And discolored a bit as well to make some soft shadings.  Now I need to dig through Frank's pants and,

YES........

I will make sure he understands THIS time that I will CUT THEM UP!

I won't do THAT again!  LOL    But it was really funny to see the look on his face!
