Elizabeth's view on Abstract Quilts
I'm looking forward to Elizabeth's next session of Abstract Art for Quiltmakers so thought it would be fun to get her thought's on Abstract Art.
Inspired by Granddaughter's drawing
With school break upon us, it is only natural that I spend more time with my granddaughters. Both my girls love to draw like many children their age. Being only 2 years old, Isabella generally likes me to draw for her and one of her favorite things for me to draw is flowers. We draw big ones, little ones, some to the right, some to the left, and various colored ones.
Tissue Paper Quilting
Today I thought I would demonstrate how easy it is to quilt a design without marking your quilt top. I never trust those markers and even if I did, it can be quite difficult drawing on the fabric anyway. Drawing on tissue paper is much easier.
Do you ever get stuck for a quilting idea?
Do you ever get stuck for an idea to quilt a background or border? Usually, you just need a little quilting to hold the layers together, or reduce some bulkiness. Simply following the fabric lines or design often works very well.

Class Starting this Weekend
Often it is a good idea to read some extra information or gather ideas about classes before one dives in, so I've put together some blog topics of the classes starting this weekend. I hope you'll find them useful
Basic Dyeing for Quiltmakers by Elizabeth Barton
Questions about dyeing fabric - do you have them? Here are some things to ponder over...
What is my favorite color?
I'm curious! How and when did you learn about color? Do you rely on what you learned in your schooldays? Have you taken formal color or quilters' classes? Do you still struggle with color? Do you work intuitively?
Machine Quilting 52
My 52nd day of quilting designs. Woo Hoo I made it! Today's inspirational photo is of a wire frame design which is a decoration above a door however could also be used as a hanger for a small quilt.
