This is a redo

Ever had a post that just wasn't working?
Well, my last post didn't make me happy,
so I threw it away and re-did some pictures!
Maybe the week away and working at the
office really threw me off! Anyways, I better now!

You may have already seen a glimpse of
these....the latest CQ phone cases. Just have
to fold them and sew them!
These are selling as quickly as I make them!
Nicki Lee's laces are admired and the vintage-look
is still something people seek out.









The quick version of the phone case
is to just mix a couple of fun fabrics.
This was an appreciation gift for
someone that had lived in Hawaii,
so when he saw these fabrics, he
had a big smile!






Jump Off Joe is pinned on the wall
as I work away on it. For weeks I've
been just staring at it, threatening to
dismantle it! Then I got to thinking,
do something like a foreground - force the
mountains to the back.


So, I'm working away on shrubs as we
saw,them in Spring... all flowering white.
After that, I'll just have to stare at it again
and let inspiration flow in.















This here is the crazy blocks ready for
machine-stitching. I fell in love with the center
of the crazy block by Jodie Davis, it sort of
looked like a gem. So, I used that piece and then threw out all the rules of crazy quilting and stitched up the fabric, long pieces included!

This might look familiar, it's the fabric that
went into Miss L's wallhangings.
The blocks are 9 1/2". I think I'll play up the
blues and sages and turn this all into a lap quilt!


There's a show coming up in December, I better get a-moving!
Back to sewing!!

Hey Jes!!!! OMG! You have been one busy lady! Everything is looking aweseom. I have to tell you I LOVE Jump off Joe! I would love to get my hands on it and play... it is going to be a stunning Art Quilt! Seriously, if you want to share I'd love to add a little bit of Nicki CQ to it....

BTW - I like your new Blog look - much easier to read and the pictures really pop out.

Nicki....WHAT AN OFFER!
Channel that artsy talent right this way, girl!! I'll get the shrubs done and then we'll talk!! But, yeah...with your "magic wand", this could be r..e..a..l..l..y pretty!

Thank you for saying something about the blog look - I kept changing it at the end of the day, not the best time for tired eyes....but, I think this is calming and easier to see the pictures too!


Alessandra....welcome!
