Building Blocks Quilt Along

I am doing the Building-Blocks-Quilt - with Leah Day this year.

I learn so much from her.


Here are the first 3 blocks:

Still need to work on my swirls.

Log Cabin for the Express Your Love Quilt

I have been working on the log cabin background for the  Express Your Love 2013 Quilt Along with Leah Day.

 There will be over 30 log cabins in the back ground of this quilt.  I think that it's going to look so much better.












This is all that I have done on my Express Your Love Quilt Along.. Now that I have more time, I'm gonna get back into my FMQ. 

April post

It's been about a month since I blogged.. With working full time, I don't get much time to quilt or even blogging... but I am going to make my self try to blog at least once a month, so here it is on the last day of the month. I found some time, before dinner to write about what I did for the month of April, not much quilting, but I did do some.
I signed up for a couple of Craftsy classes.
"The Machine Embroidered Quilt" with Eileen Roche.
here is a picture of a couple of the blocks from her class.

I did 5 of these so far





 

Also did 5 of these

 

 This one has 5 in a row, I think that I should have done my background threads in a different color so they would have stood out, but it was my first attempt.

When I complete the entire quilt I will post pictures of it.

 

 

The other class that I signed up for are:

Design It, Quilt It with Cindy Needham

Designing Modern Quilts with Weeks Ringle

Pieced Hexies with Mickey Depre

Pre Cut Piecing Made Simple with Camille Roskely

and also

Free-Motion Quilting with Feathers by Angela Walters.

 

 

I can't believe that I singed up for all those, but I couldn't help it, I love the Craftsy platform, I can watch them anytime I wont.

 

Oh I almost forgot about Free Motion Fillers, Vol 1 with Leah Day.

Here are some pictures of the quilt that I am working on for her class:

I actual did these blocks in March 50 blocks

 

 

So there is some of what I have been working on for the month of April when I'm not working.

 

Leah Day Free Motion Project 2013 - Free Motion Quilting Friday linkup

This will be my first week doing the Free Motion Quilting Friday linkup.  It started last Friday, but I didn't have time to get my linkup done.  So I will be starting this Friday. I still need a lot of practice. 

Here's what I have done on the "Express Your Love"
The Printing of the pattern is done.

The tracing is done and the words.

The Free Motion Echoing around the words.

 

Now also the Foundation Echoing around the earth.

 

I hope I can keep up with this every week.  I am really enjoying doing this weekly, Thanks Leah for all that you have been showing us and more to come.
