Spider Web!



Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!

You start out with a huge bin of strings
(which by the way doesnt manage to empty)


Then you take these triangles of paper and gluea kite to the middle and add those strings to the sides of
each kite...and you trim, and you trim...
(and throw those trimmings out for the birds of course!)


and you end up with these beautiful blocks
that create this wondeful secondary pattern!!


Theres 16 blocks so far....
I just gotta keep on
trucking along...
You ROCK Bonnie Hunter!

Val's Quilting Studio

In a nutshell, you save your spare change in a nice piggy bank or jar for one year.
Then when the year is up, you cash in your change for something
Quilty related...sound good?

Sounds good to me! I am in!
I have my sights set on a Quilty Cruise in Sept 2015!
Can I do it??

& Sew on BOM 2013


Ya Ya Ya, I know, I am a bit behind on this one...I had all the best intentions of keeping up and then as usual, all sorts of yummy quilty inspiration hits me square between the eyes on a daily basis and this got shoved to the back burner...


This is the 4th block I have finished in the "& Sew On" BOM with Kristy of Quiet Play from last year.  They are all paper pieced and so fun to make...


The patterns are all available on Craftsy...go check them out!!
