Melody Crust was one of our National Teachers this year. I was lucky enough to take several of her classes which included beading, free motion quilting with decorative threads, and what to look at, and think about when designing borders. I learned a lot and came away with loads of ideas.
This is Cori's sample with the pocket quilted, embroidered, and colored (colourque) instead of appliqued. Almost too cute to hide beside the bed. Something to think about. Doesn't she do amazing work? Her website is www.chitterchatterdesigns.com if you'd like to check out her other designs.
Sam's face is in this burrow up to his eyeballs! The sniffs and snorts coming from the hole were quite hilarious....until he started to dig up the lawn. Wish I could have gotten a shot of his face when he finally surfaced. One of these times he will get his nose nipped by whatever is living in there. Sam hasn't discovered that there is most likely a "back door" somewhere else!
This little pincushion is the project for week four of the Angel Swap and is a pattern from Plum Cute Designs. It really is "plum cute" and was fun to make. Week five project has been posted and I just hope I can get it finished this week.
The river from the last post flows into this reservoir, which is huge. The bottom picture is just one of the mountains along Provo Canyon. Just a wonderful three hour trainride full of senic wonders. It was the first of Sept. and a few of the trees were beginning to show a bit of color. In a couple of weeks it will be beautiful (for this desert land). Can't beat New England in the fall!
