Fun on the Road 2 California

 It was so much fun attending Sarah Vedeler's two day class at the Road. I almost finished
 my Pillow Top.

I have my machine setup for FMQ. So I still want to play with that for a few days
before I finish the embroidery. Loved the class. Love Sarah. She has brought a whole
new world to embroidering on quilts.

These are Sarah's Pillows. Hope to make them all. You can get her embroidery software on her site.
www.SarahVedelerDesigns.com  Many more designs. Plus the awesome Be Dazzled Quilt Software!

All for now. Hope to go back to the Road in Ontario, CA. Sunday. See you there.

Sewing little squares and trianges together. Going to be very "scraby" I believe the word it. All pieces my Mom cut to use somewhere or just that right piece to finsh that corner. Who knows. Funny project. Lots of memories coming up.

The pieces are shown below using the Accuquilt to square up. Rotory cutting is another option.

Resizing little pieces with Strip Die by Accuquilt


                                         
                                           Really made the job easy. Mom left me all these
                                           beautiful "almost" square pieces. Now they are
                                           squared up.

                                          Oh this was way too much fun. My leaves are all over
                                           the place. Much more practice needed. I won't mind!!
