What I've been up to

Quilting and BookMaking and Writing, oh my!

So my 2 online classes have ended... I haven't finished with the material, but that's normal for me and classes online.  I think I need someone to physically keep me on task:)

Anyway, I cannot recommend enough... Cathy Zielski's class, Me: The Abridged Version, through Big Picture Classes.  I learned a tremendous amount about PSE and digital projects.  I also have a bit to complete with Karen Grunberg's Book of Stories... all about how you process, organize and write your stories.  This one was a little more ethereal/thought-provoking, also through BPC.

So I'm half-way through my 2 VCU classes.  Here are some of my quilting samples:
Machine Quilting

Crazy Piecing

Hand Quilting
 I really am having fun with the crazy piecing... go figure:)
Embroidery


Foundation Piecing

My goal with this class is to use fabrics and notions from my ever-plentiful stash!  Tori and I went through all the fabrics a couple of months ago and I'm now down to 5 large bins. lol!  The Foundation Piecing is using fabrics left-over from the first quilt I ever made (for Tori).

I'll have to post pics later about the BookMaking class.  I'm a bit behind in documentation.
