I love ombre fabrics and I have used them in my work for years and years. ⁣
Maywood Studios has recently become a Sponsor. The temptation is to order everything!! ⁣
⁣
However, I am mindful that I don’t want or need to overstock my stash. So, I used the color card and ordered the fabrics that I had used up or nearly used up. And I kept in mind the new work that I am planning for the rest of the year. ⁣

Thanks @maywoodstudios for the lovely fabric. ⁣

I took a class with the talented Cassandra Beaver

I took a class with the talented Cassandra Beaver and the SBAMQG today learning to piece perfect circles. I FINALLY understand the process. I recommend her as a teacher—clear instructions and lots of coaching. Thanks Cassandra!!!

I folded my circle in half and pinned it to the in progress sketch.

I see real possibilities incorporating this technique into my Geometric Abstraction series which MUST have perfect curves.

That’s a wrap for the weekend. I’ll be over ➡️sewing until Tuesday.

My May 2023 block is done for @feltlikesweets⁣
⁣
Two blocks and a selected color palette of 3 color families. Inspiration had to be a literary genre. I chose murder mystery, and my blocks are improv stripes and drunkards path improv curve blocks. This is based on a specific British ⁣
Series of books that became a streamed series. Any guesses? ⁣
⁣
These curved blocks are around 3 inches or smaller—much smaller than I usually work. ⁣
⁣
I loved piecing some very skinny strips as usual. 😃⁣
⁣
And of course, this was sooooo fun!⁣

UPDATE: The inspiration is Agatha Raisin!!! Purple because she likes to imbibe. Red for the murders! Skinny strips for those high heels she insists on wearing. The other colors for contrast and because there is a mellow yellow lighting sometimes in the episodes on tv.

This ondemand class now includes 𝗧𝗪𝗢 on demand workshops for one low price.⁣
⁣
First, learn how to manage your fabric and tools stash in 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. Then, in 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗵 & 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗝𝗮𝘇𝘇, you can start creating wonderful modern quilts using the scraps, leftover blocks and even partially finished quilt tops.⁣
⁣
Combining these two workshops into ONE sustainability focused masterclass seemed to make a lot of sense.⁣
⁣
And, this combined on demand class offers a great value because the Stash & Scrap Jazz workshop would sell for almost $50 as a stand alone on demand class. ⁣
⁣
LINK IN BIO. Join me on this sustainability journey.⁣
⁣
IMPORTANT NOTE: I do not cover sourcing and using repurposed clothing or linens in either of these workshops. Although I use repurposed fabric in my artquilts, that is not the focus of this workshop. Instead, I focus on the quilting fabrics and notions that most quilters find at local shops and from the destash of friends.⁣

My happy place. Sewing an improv curve.

I love making these curves in small 3-1/2 inch sizes up to 16+ inches.

I love teaching others how to make them.

Subscribe to my newsletter for info on a special offer for an upcoming improv curve class…and a FREE webinar on using ombres.
