Ombre Challenge

 My Guild Challenge for March is to make something with only one color.  You can use many hues of that color, but only that color.  So I had an idea for that and thought well, I can lay it out as an ombre.  The problem was that I had 2 days to work on it and it wasn't something I could get done in two days.  On the way to Florida, I realized, I could just do a card for the Project Quilting Challenge.  So, this morning I went to the grocery store, ate breakfast and at about 10:30 am, I dumped out the scrap bucket here to see if I could find fabrics for an ombre.  The scrap bucket here at the condo is only a half gallon bucket.  It worked, this is what I have:

When I get done with the piece for the Guild Challenge, I will need to post it to PQ Facebook Group so others can see.

Thanks,

Nancy

 

Project Quilting New Season

Once again I am participating in Project Quilting #projectquilting.  The theme for the first challenge is Mythical Character.  So the first thing I do is figure out what I can make that is small enough for Project Quilting and something that I can actually use.  This year I know I can always do small wallhangings for my sister who likes to decorate.

What small wallhanging can you do with Mythical Character?  Simple, Cupid and a Valentine's piece fits that bill.  

I cut the cupid and the words with a Silhouette Cameo.  I ended up cutting the 'V' twice.  I have never found where I lost the first 'V' between downstairs and upstairs to my sewing room.

I did a faced binding as I did not want a standard binding.

I learned that the metallic printed fabric gets real hot when you need to turn the edge of a faced binding.  The only piece missing is the label as I ordered labels for 2025 and they haven't shown up yet.

Thanks for stopping by .
