I don't have much to offer in the way of my own projects this week but I had a fantastic mail day when this package arrived in the mail from Sue B.
Isn't that clever wrapping and I love the cording. I think it's made with the Diva Cord Maker and I've got to get one! Here's what was inside....
In May I was one of 6 lucky people to receive one of these cool art pieces from Terri. I wanted to get mine framed before posting it.
Thought I would post these photos of the most recent silk fusion sheets I made. I've decided that I like doing this so much that I'm setting up a separate category for the silk fusion projects.
How nice it was to have the energy and desire to spend yesterday in my sewing room! I did some quilt piecing in the morning and will write about that later. Yesterday evening I went back to Silk Fusion class to work on my 3rd lesson - making a box. Since I spent the week hugging tissue boxes I decided that I wanted my tissue boxes prettier - so my boxes are tissue boxes! I made two - one for my car and one for the large tissue boxes that I use in the house. Let' start with the car box...
Directions follow..
I woke up yesterday morning with a horrid cold that seems to be going around the world right now. It's sure going through my office. But after a long nap yesterday I was able to finish two of my silk fusion projects. The photos aren't great - I just didn't have the energy today to continue retaking them - I think you'll get the idea. Both of these projects are from my Silk Fusion class at Joggles.com. You can read my previous posts about these projects here and here.
This morning I attacked both classes that I am currently taking on line - Silk Fusion at joggles.com and Tea Stain Dyeing at Quilt University. So far I am really pleased with both classes! This post will be about the silk fusion progress. Later I will post the results of my first day of tea dyeing.
The Silk Fusion class started today. I didn't expect to be able to work on my samples yet because we have Quilt Guild meeting tonight. But the guild meeting was canceled. So I pulled everything out and had a silk fiber/glitter festival in my kitchen! We were assigned two samples for the first class. In this photo you can see the colors I selected.
The lighting in my photos didn't work out so well. One sample is shades of blue and the other is yellow,pink and turquoise. Hopefully I will have finished papers to show tomorrow. I know it's only been one lesson but I am very impressed with the thorough and clear instructions that Sue Bleiweiss has prepared for this class. Even my husband thought the whole process was cool!
Update on DH. He had the full GI series today and nothing was found. I was very relieved! Doesn't mean he still isn't in pain but it's not some horrific internal disease. I reminded him that he is not allowed to be sick - I'm the sickly one and he has to be the caretaker!
