The tree quilt is progressing well. Here it is with the trees pinned in place. They will probably get repositioned as I sew them onto the background. I’m debating whether to cover the background trees with white tulle, but will decide after I sew them all on.
On Monday night, I attended the January meeting of the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild. Because it was the first meeting of the year, we did a show-and-tell of our first quilts – lot’s of fun stories about making our first quilts!
I also showed off a mug rug I made for a swap with a group of quilters who sell on Etsy – the Quiltsy Team. My partner in the swap said she liked “bright or black and red combo or pandas, turtles, tree frogs” I didn’t have any of the critters she likes, but I do have bright and red and black. I had an idea for bright, and an idea for red and black, so I made a two-sided mug rug!
Thanks for stopping by. Today, I’m linking up with these blogs – click on the links below, where you’ll find many other creative projects to inspire you.
That’s a good-sized mug-rug, Terry! 😉 And your first quilt looks great — much more ambitious than the crib-sized log cabin I made for my son…almost 30 years ago!
Love seeing how the tree quilt is progressing. Fun that you made the mug rug 2 sided.
Love the trees! Mug rug is wonderful. I like both sides.
Thank you so much for sharing your process- it’s so inspiring.
So interesting to see what you use to make trees…. and that mug-rug is great!
