Buzzzy, Guild meeting and class with Kim Diehl, Tooth Fairy Pillow

Lots of pictures coming your way. First to show what I've been working on for a birthday girl this weekend. I have another project in the works for school and hope to finish it before this weekend. I make my tooth fairy pillows as a pillowcase that you can change out and made to fit one of the travel pillows. Love to do this so they can change the case out and take it with them in the car.

Kim Diehl is one of my favorite designers of quilts. I have all her books and here she is at our guild meeting and even classes. You talk about a happy camper. I couldn't wait. I will post more pictures of this adventure soon. The quilt in the picture above Kim is the one her first class was on. Her technique on applique's makes it fun and easy to temp this.

First we had our guild meeting and I'm so sorry I didn't get great pictures of all the show and tell. Blurred pictures from being at an angle to stand in line with mine.

Surprise Giveaway-What I've worked on-Treasured Friends!

If you see the lady at the top, on my blog that means I'm having a surprise giveaway. I just love having a giveaway like this. You just never know. I took my followers and the last two post comments for you to be entered and Colleen @ http://colleensquiltingjourneytooz.blogspot.com/ has won her a prize. All I'm going to ask her if she wants it handmade or something she can put her talent into and it will be on her way. I'll show pictures once she tells me. I appreciate those that follow and comment even though I haven't been able to post much lately.

The table topper above is from scraps I had from my apron days. Love this coffee print and polka-dots is another favorite. So put a little embroidery with them and this is what I came up with. Hope to list it in my etsy shop soon.

The tutorial is being made for the potholders and will be posted when Colleen gets back with me.

I'm sorry for the size of the pictures above, I forgot my camera and another lady took pictures and sent them to me. This is at our Treasured Friends meeting. I couldn't enlarge them at all without getting them blurred. Beautiful quilts to share just wish they were bigger. Thank-you Ethel for taking the pictures.
