I attended some workshops put on by Ellen Anne Eddy on thread painting and bobbin work over the past two days. I learned so much. And it amazed me to see the collections of thread that some of my fellow quilters have. Here are some of my practice pieces--- (don't look too close, they really were just learning pieces)
Also this week I finished the block of the month program that was sponsored by our local quilt shop. It was a pattern of 3 by 3 blocks, but the shop provided us with enough fabric in each month's kit that I was able to expand the top to 4 by 3, making it large enough to become a bed-sized quilt and potentially much more useful. Now I just have to get it quilted!
