INKLINGO

For several months now, I have been immersed in hand piecing with Inklingo .  I started out with several free programs from Inklingo.  I'm currently using Inklingo's Diamond's, Triangles, and Squares to make a small quilt with 20 Carpenter Wheel Blocks.  I'm learning as I go and it's been so much fun and so relaxing.  I recommend this to everyone.  I've also purchase Shape Collection No. 3,  60 Degree Diamonds and 60 Degree Hexagons.  After I'm finished with the Carpenter's Wheel, I'll continue on with other shapes.  I'm very taken with Hexagons, so I'm moving onto that next. 

Below are pictures of what I've accomplished so far.  All of the blocks have been made with my fabric stash.  Still not wanting to purchase new fabric.

 In between my hand piecing, I've been working on other items with my fabric stash.   Fabric Boxes.  Lots of fun there too. 



MUG RUGS

Hand Painted, Hand Quilted Mug Rug


I recently got into a Mug Rug Swap for Fall.
The theme was leaves.  For my exchange, I drew leaves
and hand painted.  The back ground looks yellow in
this photo but is really a beige.  I enjoyed using this
technique of painting on fabric because it allowed me to do what I love best (Hand Quilting) quickly and without any seams in the way.  This was my first attempt of painting on fabric.  I will do this again.

This is the back.

This next mug rug is from my swap mate at the Missouri Star Quilt Forum Group.  Jane did a beautiful job.  She claims to be a new quilter but I see some real sewing experience in here.  Her machine quilting is excellent.  Froggie likes it too and insisted on getting in on the pictures.
