A Little Improv and Time for Play

     On the web I ran across Amy’s “Improv Challenge” at  AmysCreativeSide.com  and decided to participate.  Each day for the past 6 days she has presented a new improv technique to try. My favorite has been gentle curves.  Here are my blocks created so far. I plan to create some more and then put some together into a small quilt. 

      Last week was spent with family and granddaughters.  Mattie made a mug rug and coasters as Valentine’s gifts. Here is a YouTube video of the easy directions.

These are the easy coasters using 4 folders squares plus foundation square, back and batting.

Both girls enjoyed decorating pencil holder cans and I’m sorry I neglected to take photos. Lily enjoyed time playing with dolls.

We also made a visit to their dad’s new office.

   I spent the day Monday sandwiching quilts; one small kid’s size and one queen size are ready and waiting for quilting.

Today was guild meeting and we were entertained and inspired by the quilt trunk show of Annette Ornelas. Check out her patterns and technique at Southwind Designs.

Enjoy time sewing or quilting
