Hello All,

I haven't done much on the baby quilt or wall-hanging.  Progress on the baby quilt includes hiding all the thread ends and trimming in preparation for binding.  I'm going to bind it with a mix of the stripes and the Amy Butler dot fabric.  I actually had to go out to buy an ironing board before I cut the binding.




For the wall-hanging I've done more bead work and found some black with white polka dot material for the binding.  My original thought was to use a black and white gingham check but I didn't find any at the store so I chose this instead.





I'm excited to say I'm taking a class with Linda Hall called Fantastic Feathers.  It's at Sanford Sewing Machine.  http://www.sanfordsewing.com/  In preparation I tried a few feathers of my own since I've never done them before.

Sorry it's so hard to see the feathers.  


I just signed up for a free on-line class called Art-Ful Card Making Techniques with Jane LaFazio and Joanne Sharpe.  It's sponsored by Strathmore.  http://www.strathmoreartiststudio.com/groups/workshop-3/forum/   I follow Jane's blog http://janeville.blogspot.com/

I'm linking up with Leah Day's Free Motion Quilting Project.  I'm heading over there to see what everybody's done this week.

Hope everybody's having fun doing something creative.
