Diamond Art

Here is another Diamond art. This time it was the round gems and not the square ones. I can do both, but I think I prefer the square ones. 
A good project for stormy days.


The process has started. Everything is set up and ready to go.



This is it halfway done.


Complete 


Framed

It can't be seen in the picture bit it has a little sparkle to it.

Blizzard quilting

 Good morning ladies,

 It’s a stay inside kind of weekend so I’m working on some lap quilts for palliative care at the hospital. They give small quilts to patients and then their family can take the quilt home and remember their family member with it.  It’s my Lent project this year.  What are you ladies up to?  Her

More beading

 Playing with some of the traditional elements of Métis beading with this piece.


I also wanted to make a coin purse but I hadn’t put a zipper in since grade nine. YouTube and some up cycling of zippers from quilt jeans and I’m learning. They’re not pretty but they are doing the job. 

It’s even lined!
What are you crafty folks up to?

Edios Quilt too done

I finished this top over the weekend. Don’t look too close. There are 3 rows that don’t line up. The top white rectangle is about 6 inches narrower than it is suppose to be because I ran out of material. Why? Let me explain! 

There are little triangles at the top and bottom of each row. The bottom triangles lined up no problem but the top triangles were way too small. I cut a long strip of material and added it to the top, then cut it to the right shape 

There are a few added pieces of material to make thing fit together. It shouldn’t have been this difficult to put together. 



I think it is one of the few quilts I’ve made that is actually a rectangle instead of a trapezoid!!!

Happy Sewing
Me
