Hi all! I hope you're staying comfy. I hope you've been able to get some crafting done. So many of us are experiencing cold weather. I know it has helped me get a lot done.
The picture below is the January Small Quilt challenge. The pattern is Bear Paw and the quilt is 20 x 20. I joined this group late in the year last year. I did the October challenge which was a Maple Leaf. I used it as a small table runner. Each month we are issued a "challenge" and the pattern is picked by the moderator, Kathy Tracy. It is usually from one of her books and often a free pattern she posts. It was very easy to put together - went fast. I am pleased with the results!
Below is my work in progress. I ordered this sampler from McIntosh Samplers after seeing it on one of your blogs. I apologize for not remembering whose blog I saw it on. i ordered it from McIntosh Samplers (www.mcintoshsamplers.com) This person did theirs in blue and I really liked it. But when the pattern came it was red. So I went out to buy the floss and aida cloth (it's a 14 count - I've never worked with linen). I only bought one skein of each color which was in the blues (the pattern comes with the colors for the blue sampler or the red). Then I put it all away and forgot about it. Once I cleaned my craft room I put it where I'd see it and eventually - two weeks ago took it out and started on it. But first I had to go buy more floss (it's a 19 x 20).
Not sure why the pictures aren't coming up all that clear but you get the drift.
I believe if you double click on it you'll be able to see it better.
I hope you enjoyed your visit with me. I hope you stop back again!
Thanks!
Char
Nice job on the Maple leaf block. I love the colors and that sampler looks like a lot of work. I'd have to use my magnifying glasses to work on that. It looks pretty small count.
