Another couple of projects

Here's the beautiful quilt Julie sent me for
May S.T.U.D. alphabetmania
'I' for Illusion

and a little bug (or slug) for Skovy
for the Sew Kid at Heart Quilting Bee

What I've been working on lately!

My S.T.U.D. mini groups theme for the month was
'Alphabetmania'
My letter was 'L' and my Mini for Jgmehlin
was this Gees Bend/ Art Inspired piece named
'Lemons, Limes & oranges'

I've joined the Bee Modern Quilting Bee!
Here are my first blocks for Nichole
and for the month of June
lots of fun!
I got a bit carried away with 4, but, I learnt a new applique technique in the meantime!

What Sylvie sent me!

The Three Bears!
a beautiful French version of the story
a letter, and drawing from her daughter
and some yummy chocolate covered marshmallow bears

aren't they sweet!

Le Petite Prince

Here is the little mini quilt I made for January
in the Flickr 'Swap till You Drop' group.
Theme: read it, watch it, sing it

It is for Sylvie in France,
and so I decided to use a famous French childrens book/opera/movie
'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
This is one of his beautiful illustrations!
I really enjoyed making this, I was inspired by this work.
Although I was a little frightened, to do it on my 30yr old Janome,
I decided to use a strand of embroidery thread and hand applique it.
