oh and modern quilts can contain embellishments too. i am designing one now that will be ladies dressed up and i will embellish their dresses with both decorative stitches and beading/buttons. |
guess i mis-stepped. sorry.

alright, here goes the umpteenth time trying to post what I'm thinking of doing. lol, every time I start, one of the kiddos goes super-sonic. :)
I'm liking this pattern http://pinterest.com/pin/9148005463381213/ but when I saw that alot are making their own design, I started playing around with a 8 pointed star based on an octagon center...similar I guess to the center of a feathered star block, but no feathers...I'm not sure. I can see a few ideas in my head, but they are not translating well onto paper. we'll see what happens! |
pictures ladies, I need pictures!
or are we not posting pics so that it is a surprise? either way, very excited about this swap and can't wait to see everyone's minis! |
i would rather it all be a surprise but this is what i am using for my inspiration for inquiring minds.

Havplenty, that is pretty. Is it one piece of fabric? My eyes aren't what they use to be.
