Mrs. Wood's Wedding Gifts

Our dear friend Ali became Mrs. Wood on June 26th 2012 (also my dad and brother-in-law's birthdays!)! Here are the gifts I made her:

 A reversable bag: Outside is upolstery (no idea who), and the inside I made from DS FQs.

 

Stash Bee June Block Hive #2

This is the origional block for the Queen Bee for June:



Here is the process I used for creating my block to send to her:

1. I googled crystal shapes/ Images/ clipart and I also did some freehand drawing. Then I took these ideas to Paint and this is what I came up with:

From online sources:

From my head to paint:

2. I then printed them out to use as paper piecing templates. And colored them in.

3. Traced them onto freezer paper and cut them out. 

4. Then I hand pieced them together and had appliqued to the Black backgroung. (Sorry no pics of the process)

5. Finished!

Tetris Quilt Scrapped.... :(

I have decided to make a tetris quilt for Irine who won the 1st quilt giveaway.
My design was too complicated and I need to get this out soon so I scrapped this idea and went with something more basic. Post with new Tetris soon , hopefully.

 

Feel free to use the Idea though!

 

FAILURE!!!

Here is what I did. (I have no idea how big this will turn out!)

1. I googled Tetris and looked at images. I used them for reference as I drew up the design.

2. Then I selected colors from my stash (I had to go purchase more red, dark blue, and yellow). I wanted to use 3 shades for each 'color'.

My colors:

3.  For this design there are 7 shapes/ colors; each individual shape is made up of 4 blocks; and each block has 4 triangles. 

etc....

For this particular design I have drawn up you will need 4 1/2" squares of each fabric piece:

(These are both the dark purple, the camera is not of a very good quality.)

 

Lay out the triangles as shown

sew together 2 at a time

now sew both pieces together

you end up with a 4" square
