Push Comes To Shove

 Well, I got my motivation back...

I had told the LQS that I would teach a few classes this quarter and

samples needed to be made a.s.a.p.

So the first one... very simple but fun... is the raw edge flower pattern.

I got this one made up over the weekend

 and just need to quilt it so I 

can wash it. That's the thing about raw edge. It isn't really finished until 

it's finished.  When a raw edge quilt comes 

out of the dryer is

when it really becomes cute!

The pattern is Layered Flowers

 and it's by My Red Door Designs.

I had purchased the pattern at

 Road To California and a friend

and fellow quilter, Cathy, 

had made up a super cute quilt using Lakehouse fabrics and I had to have

that group of Lakehouse Classics... so there was my match!

Of course it's past the middle of the month now so I have been thinking

of the AYOS quilt that needed to get made up...

this month is "X Rated". 

I had cut it out during the week... that was easie peesie...

This morning I actually put the pieces up on the design wall so

I could get it started!

I figure I can made a row here and there during the week and it will

be together before I know it!

I was compelled to work on something using Fig Tree & Co. fabrics...

I saw a photo of their booth at market and was in love!

I had a great time with Instagram-land... getting all the inside peeks at what is new

on the horizon! Wasn't it fun?

I actually have this Great Granny Square quilt

on the list of classes also. I got the borders

 put on the quilt over the weekend so it could

go to the shop as a sample!

I was scrambling for fabrics since I had started the quilt blocks

when Lori Holt had it up as a sew along on her blog...

before her book was published.

I had used a jelly roll of Kate Spain fabrics...

and then I wanted to copy the book... and add the border and

that wasn't going to work with 2 1/2" strips.

I took leftovers from my quilt that
 was finished last week and incorporated

those fabrics... I think they play nice with the blocks... don't you?

My final project is already hanging at the quilt shop.

And the class is Wednesday night!

Hook had been so much fun to make I decided that it would 

be a fun class also!

But tonight I really need to get my game plan all in order

for the class so that it actually will be fun!
