Hello! This weekend I've been on a cyber retreat with Galloping Pony: her second annual retreat. We have been playing QUILTO - the quilter's version of BINGO, using quilting words. We had a Valentine heart challenge to make a card. I really enjoyed that and ended up sewing 2 things which I plan to make into a little fabric book with some pictures from my trip to France last summer.
The white back ground fabric is a street map of Paris with famous sites on it.
The Eiffel Tower I free hand stitched on the machine with no pattern. It was pretty fun to do. My mom, Sally Jo, and I were sewing at the same time, which is always wonderful. There is a star block pattern that we can try out, and I'll see if I can do that today. I think cyber retreats are actually pretty fun - a group of women from all over the country sewing together - on their own projects and a class project.
This is Sally Jo's appliqued heart card. She stitched "Love" with 4 different shades of linen thread that I got her for Christmas. The heart is on script fabric that is attached with 4 of her grandmother's buttons to hand painted paper that she made this past October at the Art and Soul retreat in Portland, OR.
