Friendship Quilt in Progress

This is the present stage of my friendship quilt from our quilt guild.  It will gain another border, and perhaps some lettering.  However, Louise is going to help me figure out how to quilt the embroidered blocks.    The personality of each one of the quilters is revealed in her block.  Clever!

P.S. to post below

Class is called Stupendous Stitching, not sewing.  Oops.

Newest Sewing Project

These are pictures of a sewing project from an online class at Craftsy, called Stupendous Sewing.  I had a lot of fun making this from a fat quarter of batik, using stitches on my sewing machine that I have never experimented with before.  The piece has rick-rack, rattail cord, and yarn applied, then embroidery stitches from the sewing machine, then hand embroidery to finish the top.  The top is quilted, and can either be a pillow or a picture.  This piece is far from perfect, but it was lots of fun to make.  Be sure to click on the pictures to enlarge.
