I can't believe it's been a year
since I signed up for my Scrap Squad position
with Quiltmaker magazine
This post marks the end of my stint
 |
| Scrap Squad 1 |
As a member of Quiltmaker's Scrap Squad 2013
 |
| Scrap Squad 2 |
with an amazing group of 7 other Scrappers
 |
| Scrap Squad 3 |
Oh,the possibilities that were created by
 |
| Scrap Squad 4 |
these incredibly creative quilters....
 |
| Scrap Squad 5 |
It was an enjoyable year to get to know my new quilting friends from all over the States.
(I was the only Canadian...hope I didn't embarrass my fellow Canadians too badly!!)
|
| Scrap Squad 6 - Oh Sew Blue..Gone Batik! |
We proved that you can take any pattern and make it your own with just a little thinking!!
My last quilt is Oh So Blue by Judy Laquidara ......
But mine has gone BATIK!
I decided to make this one with my favorite fabric as a tribute
and
a keeper in memory of my experience!
It is crazy to think how a pile of cut up fabric ....
can lead to meeting new friends....
learning new skills....
like my NEW favorite way to bind quilts.....
with Susie's Magic Binding technique as shown
HERE
(I think of you every quilt, Marti!!)
I am lucky enough to have
one of THE BEST Longarmer's in the quilting world...
as my BFF, Terry Whitman
(she doesn't have a website YEEET...but I can link you up... just leave me a message)
To think, I showed Terry how to thread a sewing machine.... she has far surpassed me!!
Her quilts are as stunning and intricate as her quilting is!!
