Just over 2 weeks into the new year and I've made progress on all 5 of my quilting resolutions!
1. Bennie and I are getting acquainted and racking up quite a bit of mileage. Although we still experience a few bumps in the road, so I am thinking a class or two on use and care are in order...
 |
| Bennie's Resume: 3 quilt tops ready to be quilted, and a 4th that just needs to be bound! |
2. I am experimenting with my machine quilting. Fortunately one of the quilt tops above is crib size, making the quilting process not as daunting...
 |
| This crib sized Texas Two Step certainly helped me ease into machine quilting the zig zag and heart pattern |
|
|
| Taking baby steps until the winding ways quilt...eek! |
3. Documentation is coming along, thanks to the blog, and an upcoming quilt label class!--sorry no exciting pictures to show!
4. I just got back from my first surface design/fabric embellishment class...using Shiva Painstix!!
|
|
| As you can see, I had a lot of fun experimenting! |
 |
| Original Design #1 layering several different techniques |
 |
| Original Design #2--kind of a square in a square quilt block look?!? |
5. And I am proud to announce I am tackling my pile of scraps and using from my stash with two upcoming projects...both using modern quilt designs from Elizabeth Hartman (from her Oh, Fransson blog!)
 |
| I am super excited about all these jewel toned fabric squares for her Sparkle Punch Quilt Along |
 |
| And while I had all those fabrics out, I saved all the scraps/odd pieces for a second quilt-Modern Mosaic! |
Although I must confess, I did have a few moments of weakness as I ordered some new fabrics...
