Happy Easter

Made this stained glass a few years ago, the pattern is here.

I hope that every one had a wonderful Easter. I was lucky enough to have some family over. Now my kitchen is all clean and I still have time to blog and blog surf!


Today I also had time to finish machine quilting this stool cover.
I forgot to mention on yesterday's post that most of the machine quilting is not marked.
This has always been one issue with machine quilting that has scared me, and stopped me from trying fancier machine quilting. I don't like to follow lines and I don't want to waste time marking - I want to be quilting!! Being able to free form feathers (among other designs) is amazing to me. There seems to be no right or wrong!! Very liberating!!
The only area that I marked is the Diane-shiko section at the bottom, just as a guide.


A close up of the bird. Tomorrow I will finish up the stool cover.

I recently read on some one's blog that for the month of April, they were going to try and sew every day. I thought this was a great idea. I already messed up, as I did no sewing on April first, but maybe I can keep up for the rest of the month?! Worth a try.

Have a great day!!
