Completed Project for Project Quilting Season 16-5!

 Hi,

Hope you're having a good weekend! Here is my completed project for Project Quilt Season 16-5. The theme was "Follow your Arrow". 

I decided to add applique to my earlier challenge piece for the "Ombre" challenge (I hand painted and quilted fabric).  I used fabric from a batik charm pack purchased ages ago. They are nice and bright. I cut the fabric into little "arrow head" triangles. 

I used an arrow stitch from my Bernette B79 sewing machine to stitch around each patch. The stitch on the machine originally had a blanket stitch on one side. I learned how to edit the stitch and make it an arrow only stitch. I like challenging myself to try something new for each of these challenges. The challenges remind me of art school assignments! You have to create them somewhat quickly. They are kind of fun, and no grading!

Here is the completed mini quilt and detail photos:

Happy Creating!

Many Blessings to you,

Project Quilting 16-1 project completed! First project of the year completed!

Hi!

I made a quick little project for Project Quilting 16-1 (Mythical Creatures theme)! You can find a link to their website in my previous post, if you would like to join in. This is officially my first project completed this year!

I kept it simple with few embellishments - I could see this with added embroidery/applique added! I may have to make a few more.

The Easter Bunny is a symbol of new beginnings, and fertility too, of course! 

I used a remnant of quilted fabric left over from my last project. Keep those little bits, you never know when you may be able to use them.

A more complicated quilt design popped in my head, but I didn't have time to create it for the challenge, so this is the 2nd idea that came along. It was fun to make!

Here are my photos:

Wishing you many good things and experiences this year!

Many Blessings to you,
