I'm in Love.....

OK... this is a bit embarassing but I'm referring to my new i-pad mini.  I have been waffling for so long and probably one of the last people to get a "smart" device.  Instagram pushed me over the edge.  Sadly Flickr is quiet and many of my Flickr friends have headed over to instagram.  Flickr is great for organizing photos and is the place I met most of my lovely quilting and sewing friends! It is a wonderful tool for groups and quilt alongs.   I'm not abandoning Flickr but I do love the community and sharing on Instagram.  Pls visit me there - you can find the link to my account on the right hand side of my blog - I'm @charisecreates.  Here are a few pics I've taken on Instagram and shared in the past few days..........

I'm almost finished with these pouces for a class at Drygoods Design.  The left one is finished. The one on the right is basted, just need to stitch the frame to the pouch with some bright red perle cotton embroidery floss!

My quilt came back from Quiltmaker Magazine - so happy to have it home!!

I'm adding another border on my "Color burst" quilt!  It is getting too big for my design wall!!

I hope you are enjoying the summer!

Quiltmaker Spring 2013 - Give away!

I'm hosting another give away in celebration of my wall quilt being featured in Quiltmaker Spring 2013!!!

 

 

 

You may recognize the middle block which was in Quiltmaker's 100 blocks Issue 6.

I added a sewing machine and iron to make a fun sewing room theme quilt.

Then I added a beggar block border to add to the vintage charm.

 

Here is a picture of the original design.

I substituted fabric from a new line from Moda called Glamping and

The fabrics were generously donated to me by Moda fabrics. 

 

 

 

 

I think it only fair to share the love so I'm giving away a bundle of Glamping fabric!!!

 

 

 

I will be giving away a FQ of each of the two "glamping" prints and a F8 of all the rest!

 

Please leave a comment below and one extra if you are a follower of become a follower.
