Yes I do. I recently joined a "Modern Quilt Group", via long-distance, in Idaho. Our challenge was to make a hot pad then exchange them. This is mine:
This is the back...LOVE "It's a Hoot" fabric by MoMo.
So - I took some of my favorite scraps, sewed them together not caring what the width was, layered them with one layer of cotton batting and one layer of Thinsulbright, (the stuff that makes it so you don't burn your fingers), then quilted it in a giant zig-zag that I saw posted here, at Crazy Mom Quilts. This is my new favorite domestic machine quilting design!
Even though it's a small project, I do find ity bity bits of time to sew....just for me!
I love it! I like how you rounded the corners. I'm definitely going to have to try that zig zag stitch!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I seriously could have an entire quilt with that zig zag quilting on it....yum...
DeleteOh too fun! Cute and clever!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Trish - I think I'll sit right down and make some more! And maybe one for ME!
DeleteWhich quilt group did you join? I am in Idaho (SE)....I would love to know. Cute hotpad! -Jude
ReplyDeleteHey - I'm from SE Idaho. Attended ISU - still have my very orange sweat shirt! It's a guild that was just formed by some of my friends in the Shelley/Firth area. This is our first month/project. I grew up in IF but ended up in Pocatello. We moved to Challis then here in Montana. I get to go home when the roads are clear. I actually worked for Terrie at Sages Creek as one of her long-arm quilters before moving here. I miss the shop!
DeleteI totally remember you now, I took a class you taught on a Buggy Barn quilt....I work at ISU....I remember you got married and left us and everyone loved your exquisite machine quilting....wow, it's a small world. I am so glad to know where you are now. Is the guild open? I would love to do something like that....how nice to re-acquaint, thank you for writing back to me!
DeleteI DO remember that class! I thought you looked familiar! I'll ask about the guild - it's in the beginning stages. SO fun to find people from the past again!
DeleteYou can email me at cjudygo@hotmail.com.....thanks so much!
DeleteSo cute! I'm going to try a giant zig zag on some fleece. We'll see how it goes!
ReplyDeleteohhhhh - let me know! I'll watch your blog!
DeleteSend one my way!
ReplyDeleteokey-dokey! Because I love you and because I already have one with you in mind and because I'm the best mom EVER...sweet daughter!
