Quilt along. wanna play?

YIPPEEE! With many of my large Xmas projects done, i can get back to finishing this wonky stripe quilt... Still gotta come up with a good name...

I'm thinking, Waverunner....

Many of you asked to do an online class, or a quilt along, which I think will be fun to do.

So if you'd like to do that, email/comment and sign up,
and I will run a list of all who are playing along...
(if we get enough people, I'll do it.)


I gathered some fabrics that I might play with for that project, just tossing some ideas around.
So be thinking about your fabric choices, and when I get back from Houston, we can start to play.

So leave me a comment, if you want to join in.

It will be more of a quilt along, as really, there's not much to teach!

So if you think breaking out of the box is difficult, come play and you'll see it's really not.
come give it a whirl.

Please include your email, I have a bunch of no reply's
and I can't reach you.



in the meantime;

GATHER FABRICS:


For fabrics, you can do all solids, or, I may add in a few blender fabrics as well... not sure yet...
I'd like to us blk/purple kaffe brocade fabric for my backing, so I chose colors from the fabric.

Be sure to choose, a range or LIGHT/bright, MEDIUM, and DARK fabrics,
for the best over all look, and as a challenge, stay away from WHITE...

Find an inspiration fabric, or picture, and select a range of colors from it... or try
http://www.colourlovers.com/
to play with colors or look at other peoples ideas or combos...

Try to pick something out of your normal range...
or if you use colors you normally gravitate to, make sure
to add one SPICE-y color to give it a little zing!

other stuff.......

We drove in late last night form the house, the empire state building was green/white and red...
such a great skyline...



Mystery cookies.
B and I wanted some chocolate chip cookies, started making them and realized we were missing a bunch of ingredients... not enough butter, sugar etc so we improvised, added some shortening, some agave, milk,peanut butter etc, and wal-la! little yummy puff balls that actually taste really good! pheew!


I'm thinking I may take one of these along on the plane Thursday to Houston to work on... both are being hand quilted and I never seem to have time to do it... or I start something else...
Perhaps I'll just be to excited to do anything anyway....
click click, my brain is ticking...
