More Butterfly Tins

There's an amazing 3 day weekend for youth, Chrysalis and college aged folks, Journey that is an opportunity for them to renew or rekindle their commitment to Christ. During the weekend, they receive small token reminders of God's love called Agape. I collect Altoid tins (rectangular and circular) and cover them with butterfly fabric for Agape. (Oct. 18, 2008 entry showed circular tins.)

Joy's Felted Wool Jewelry

Joy M. created this beautiful, felted wool beaded necklace, earrings and bracelet

after a short one hour workshop! She is a wonderfully creative woman.

She would be quick to tell you she only wears one or two pieces at a time

so as not to be too matchy matchy.

Great job Joy M.!!

More Hand Dyed Fabric

I purchased this yard of hand dyed fabric (only 1/4 of it showing) from Anita at the Fiber Arts Alliance meeting on Tuesday. Great colors Anita!

Hand Dyed Fabric

So many are getting into hand dying their own fabric, like Anita who I saw yesterday at Fiber Arts Alliance, who slipped some strips from her hand dyes into my bag!! WOOHOO! Aren't the colors wonderful. I plan to be making more Quilted Art Post Cards with these!

Thanks Anita!! anitaheadyfiberarts.blogspot.com.

YoYo count up to 22!

Colorful Yo Yos

It's been a long time since I've made Yo Yos that I had forgot how much fun & quick they can be. They are made from the circles that my granddaughter

and I were having so much fun with on Friday's blog entry.

60+ more to go.

Super Sew Party

For several years I have met with a group of quilting ladies on Super Bowl Sunday

to sew and create for an extended period of time. We start at 3 PM and go late.

Here's some photos of our projects this year. I appliqued some batik fabric to create a Valentine's dish towel.
Then I sewed some 6 inch strips which will be made into tiny quilts for Preemie babies.

Michele is almost finished hand quilting this quilt for her daughter.

Carol created some fancy dish towels and then cut several 6 inch blocks for a big quilt.

And home made soup and bread for dinner.
No photos of all the chocolate and strawberries.

We had a great time!
