UPDATING A STOOL

My mother had a vanity stool that was part of her bedroom suite that my daughter loved.  Eventually this vanity stool ended up at my daughter's home.  For several years it has needed a fresh cover for it.

This is how pitiful this cushion has looked!









I decided to recover it as a gift for my daughter.

So I made this little piece using the Mini Quick Curve Ruler from Sew Kind of Wonderful.  Love these Drunkard's Path blocks.

Quilted it with a serpentine stitch.










So I had the hubs get out the stapler and we covered the vanity stool.

Love the way this looks!!!

PROJECTS FOR APRIL AND MAY

I have had so much fun the last two months getting projects completed and starting a few new ones.

I had this pile of bright Kona solids and then I paired it with this wonderful text
fabric to make my first ever 
Prayer Flag.

This is so cute.  I want to make some more.  I put a facing on this one instead of a binding.

One of my friends was offering a class in raw-edge applique and this was the pattern we used.
Needless to say, mine does not look like the pattern at all!!

Here was an opportunity for me to use some of my hand dyes and some commercial fabrics to do something very whimsical.

My Modern Quilt Guild has been doing a design series as our programs.  This month was the Drunkard's Path and this is my version.

Should I turn it this way, or, should I turn it this way???

Another fun "sketch" piece I worked on were these lantern shapes using the Quick Curve Ruler.  I think I put these sketch pieces together mostly so I can quilt them.  I love straight-line quilting!

I think this is enough for this post.  I will share more in a later post.
