I mentioned before how I
really enjoyed reading all your comments about how you use the Internet. Many
of you remarked that you find Facebook as confusing as I do.
Case in point… I belong to
some wonderful groups on Facebook one of which is a group called Celebrate Hand
Applique hosted by Caron Mosey. On April 1st she introduced a
challenge to design and create a little quilt of our own design and post it on
June 1st. I didn’t see the post until May 1st so I decided to make
mine simple.
It is made from vintage feed and flour sacks so I am calling it "Flour to Flower".
Of course now I can’t find
the original post so I think I might have dreamed it up. But I needed a few
quilts to donate to our mini quilt auction at the show this summer, so I can
check one off my list!
And, I would like to share an
organization tip from my very dear (and oh so clever) friend, Karen Mitman. She
went to the dollar store and bought several colorful gift bags and organized
each of her projects with a photo of the quilt on each bag. Now she is ready
for our upcoming “Seven Sistahs” (Spelled thus as we are in Maine!) retreat in
mid June.
I’m going to go pack!
That's a GREAT idea!!
ReplyDeleteYour little flower quilt is sweet as can be! And your friend Karen's tip is GENIUS!
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy little quilt! Clever rick-rack stems or did you actually cut and applique those squiggles?? Great idea for organizing projects!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is a sweet little quilt! Ric-rac stems are a great idea. Love the name, too. : )
ReplyDeleteThat is a great for organizing projects on the go.
I seem to always miss those notification posts of themes and directions. I LOVE flour to flower!! Can I remote bid?
ReplyDeleteHave fun at your retreat.
Good organizing tip - and they even have good handles!
ReplyDeleteThat little mini is adorable! And a great tip with the bags! Love it!
ReplyDeletecute design for your FB challenge - love those feed sacks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea with the bags and photos!!
What a clever name for those cute little flowers!
ReplyDeleteYour little applique quilt is very lovely. Have a wonderful time at your retreat!
ReplyDeleteClevah
ReplyDeleteThose little flowers are as cute as can be! Your design is sweet with those wonderful vintage feed sacks.
ReplyDeleteFlour to Flower is adorable! I would've been too intimidated to create a hand applique project in just a month - kudos to you!!
ReplyDeleteLove Flour to Flower. Wow vintage flour sacks. Been ages since I've seen one.
ReplyDeleteI would like to join the FB group but can't find it. Maybe you can post a link. Id like to make a small applique quilt. Enjoy your retreat!
ReplyDeleteSuch a creative name. I read the challenge on Facebook but I had too many projects in the works with deadlines so did not participate.
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up, Wendy!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your little applique quilt. Is that going to be during the quilt show in July?? hmmmmm
Hi!
ReplyDeleteCute little quilt. One less thing on your to do list. Facebook is not my favorite thing. I've never tried to join a group on it. Wish I could join you in your retreat. Have fun.
Such a clever name for your cute mini quilt. Love the idea of photos to organise your projects, I use boxes so I'm going to put pics on those - thanks for sharing that idea.
ReplyDeleteLate late late, but finally replying to your internet question. I "look at" instagram and pinterest, and I lurk on a few quilt related Facebook pages, only because some of my favorite quilters - Cheri Payne for example - no longer blog. Blogs are what I like best. Keep on posting Wendy, you've spurred me to get back to it as well.
ReplyDeleteYour flower quilt is so lovely!! Like a spring garden. What a great idea to put projects in bags like that.
ReplyDeleteClever name for a very sweet quilt! Such happy fabrics for spring :0)
