A.D.D. again today

Yesterday I tried these blocks in pinks and whites and was answering a reply to The Calico Cat how I bet they would be a great scrappy block and then had to try it :)
I made more in pinks and whites and made more morning star blocks.



Then I decided to play with UFO's


It's very heavy on the left side but today I decided to play with the stitches of the Viking and try and finish this class project. I HATE the satin stitches :( But the buttonhole stitch is nice. I'm going to look and see if I have more fusible web and even out the sides of the tree.Next will be the Chicago School of Fusing wall hanging from May I think :)

For Jeannie - Trees of Life with Susan Schrott




Mine is the blue one on the right, middle row. You know the one different in the roots than everyone else's. Susan Schrott was an EXCELLENT speaker and a wonderful teacher. If your guild can book her DO IT!!!
She had lots and lots of tips for quilting and making the tree....I want to do another one very soon. My friend Katie and Barb had great tree also. Barb's was African fabrics amazing. Katie's was soft pastels, very girly, but she loves that stuff:). It's the one thing that keeps me sane with my guild, the excellent speakers we get. I think we have art type quilts the rest of the year,. I plan on taking the May class and going to both lechures. Here's our year of speakers with links. Sorry I had the wrong link- but all fixed now :)
