After sitting with Paula and Sheila for the Anita Goodesign embroidery workshop, I was mesmerized by the fact that you can create quilt blocks on an embroidery machine! Imagine my delight!!! Well, Paula (the "Nazi Quilter" as I lovingly call her) said that making quilt blocks in a machine is cheating and that I needed to learn to do it the right way FIRST. So, she made me sign up for her class and below is what happened on Day 1:
From fat quarters purchased at JoAnn's:
To strips cut with my new handy-dandy Olaf rotary cutter and Fiskars mat:
To strips sewn together to make a larger piece again:
To my very FIRST QUILT SQUARE!!! Yay. This is called the Rail Fence pattern: it is the same one they used in the purple AG quilt that I love. Think I will use this as 1/3 of a mug rug... Perhaps I will embroider the other side. We'll see...
