this is a philodendron leaf.
With this leaf, and sweeping lines, you come down from the top, make your heart, come back out and go back to your loop-de-loop toward your next leaf/heart ... you will be amazed at how wide and deep you can make them, you will enjoy how wistful you can make them ... just take a gander at some leaves from different plants, and you might find lots of samples to practice. <wave> |

Don't forget the you tube adventure, either .... I don't know where they are, but I have found them linked on the Board ... where you can watch how the quilter is using her hands and moving the quilt to get what she wants (or he wants <g> as the case may be) <wave> |

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: I went back to the very first post, and according to the "rules", y'all were only supposed to make ONE nine patch a day for THIRTY days :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Having read every page on this thread, I am thinking: They were having so much fun, they just started making 9 patches and couldn't stop! GOOD SHOW! <wave> |
omak, we started out making them from June 15th thru August 1st. Some of the members wanted to go to the end of August since that was actually the end of summer. So we expanded to June 15th thru August 31st. We had great fun looking for links to variations of the 9 patch and settings. Some of our members got very creative! :D We all tried to keep each other cheered on and going. :thumbup: It has been a lot of fun to do and to see what everyone has created with the humble 9P.
Oh and some really made way more than the required 1 a day! |
WooHoooooo...If the deadline was changed to Aug. 30th, I finished on time. I finished on the 27th! :thumbup:
