Crazy quilt fan block

I worked with an amazing group of ladies in a round robin. You can see all of the blocks here. When I got mine home I added more bling. Then I prepared it for hanging using Alison Aller's method with foam core. It worked wonderfully, I am so pleased.

Quilt Retreat

I went to an awesome retreat with the Valley of the Sun Quilters. Patrick Lose came and did a trunk show. I bought tons of his amazing satinesque fabric which I then used as the background for my lone star and the background for his Love Blossoms pattern. Here they are. On Love Blossoms I only used one color for all the pieces and then blanket stitched around every piece in white. I love how it turned out!

Doll Quilt IV

Here is the mini quilt that I made for Peni on the about.com quilting forum. It is a 19 inch circle, each fan block is 2 inches. I had a lot of fun with this one. It has micro stippling in all the black areas and trapunto on the fans. This is my first round quilt.

Crazy quilt round robin

I am doing a round robin with 4 of my online friends. Ami, Rebecca, Lou, and Cris. We just mailed our naked blocks to the first person on the list. Here they are in order of the names I posted above. Mine is the one with the fan, Ami's is the landscape, Rebecca's is the autumn colors, Lou's is the one with the tapestrys, and Cris's is jewel tones & black. I can't wait to see how these progress.

More crazy quilt blocks

Here are some group photos of blocks I have received for the Crazy quilt swap on about.com . I did take individual photos but will not post them yet. Everyone did a great job!

Crazy quilt blocks

Well I am busily working on my crazy quilt blocks for a swap I am running on about.com Here are some photos of the first 9, some are done, some are only partially done. Some could be for one of several people and others it is obvious who it is for. Also, some embellishments like the hot fix gems aren't showing well in some blocks.

Newborn filly

Here are some photos of my new horse. She was born this morning. I have decided to call her Star. I also included one of my daugther Rylee's new buckskin roan that she got for her 13th birthday yesterday. She has decided to call her Spug's baby. ( My husband calls Rylee Spug because he says if he ever gets to adopt her, he would change her name to Spug so her name would be SpugEddy. LOL
