Spidron - Step 5

Hi there!

Okay, I managed to FINISH my
Spidron top!!!!

Removed all the extra basting stitches
and paper, in the back....

YEP... I had paperpieced the darn thing!



Here's some info, on Spidrons:

SPIDRONS

I find these Spidrons FASCINATING,
but I don't think I'll be making another one, soon... *grin*

Anyhow, tomorrow evening, it's back to the
"special" hearts and then... onto new projects...

Have yourselves a GREAT week!

Spidron - Steps 3 and 4

Hi there!

Well, remember my Spidron, on-line-through-my-guild-course?

Well, steps are posted every 2 weeks (approx.)
and the last steps, I didn't get a chance to work on them...
too busy working on my special "hearts".

Anyhow, Thursday(?), the teacher posted the
5th and final step and I thought,
"Oh My Goodness! I better get the 4th and 5h (final) steps done!"

Here's a picture of step 3 (I believe)....



And I've now finished step 4....
Here's the picture:

You can now really see the "curley" spidron effect.

Cool, eh?

And the neatest part, is that I FINALLY figured out
what I will be doing with this table topper....

IF it turns out okay, that is....
*keeps her fingers crossed*

Today is Sunday morning and I plan on finishing the
5ht and final step, today! *grin*

Spidron - A New Adventure!!!

Hi there!

Well, last spring I finally joined a quilting guild-
The Marco Polo Quilting Guild....
Mind you, it sure helps that they meet once a month,
about 3 blocks away. *grin*

Anyhow.... and silly me.... I have a knack of
biting more than I can chew, or
jumping both feet FIRST and then,
asking questions....

Soooooo, our guild booked us for an "on-line" quilting course.

Have any of you ever done that, before?
No? Well, neither have I! LOL

Gilbert asked if it would be done in video format.
I replied, "Hell, I don't know!!!"

LOL

Well, this evening, I was to pull out 2 light colors - 1 lighter than the other, and
2 dark colors - 1 lighter than the other.

Now, here's the tricky part... all 4 colors had to be 2/3 of a yard EACH!

I think I've been doing too many Dear Jane blocks....
Most of my fabrics are either 1/4 yard or fat quarters -
or even less, sometimes! *grin*

I had been procrastinating till tonight,
I HAD to find fabric, in my stash!

After all, tomorrow is supposed to be our first lesson!
*grin*

After pulling out almost ALL my totes - fabric scattered ALL over - mayhem reigned!
And almost 1 hours later, here's what I selected....



Ivory, peach, taupe and what I call my "snake skin" fabric (far right).

Have any of you ever used the wrong side of a fabric?

Well, I've been tempted before, but tonight,
desperate measures had to be taken.
*grin*

I'll be using the wrong side of my "snake skin" fabric.

Will keep you guys and gals posted on how my
"on-line" courses are coming!
