The book was Ricky Tims Convergence Quilts.
Now its not as if I haven't got enough projects on the go or enough planned. She had to bring me a book with more ideas in it!
Now its not as if I haven't got enough projects on the go or enough planned. She had to bring me a book with more ideas in it!I had seen a couple of this style of quilt over the years but not really interested until I read the book and saw some of the quilts he and his students had made - WOW!
Now I have more projects planned - I love the freedom and the curves and colours. Now I am going to spend the morning going through the fabrics in my stash and see what 'speaks' to me. 
I haven't tackled curved seams yet but he suggests a way that seems simple so I will give it a go.
Of course I still have the two quilts I am making for my sisters for Christmas on the go. I have finished one top and have only the final border to do on the other before they are completed and ready for quilting. I figured I can get that done easily!
I have a Can-Quilt quilting frame but won't do the quilting yet. I like to get a few tops done then quilt them all at once. Good reason to experiment with a new technique! Will keep you posted on how I go.
An update on my Healing Hearts - I have ended up with an amazing 85 hearts! Decided not to use the embroidered blocks in the quilt because I have so many blocks. Will probably either put the whole lot together or put them in groups of 12 or 14 and sash them together to break them up a little. Have been spreading them on the floor to get an idea of the colours together.
Magic Number - I notice I have had over 1800 visitors to my site so I think I should celebrate my 2000th guest! Will keep watching and when I reach the magic number I will send a little something to the person who posts a comment that coincides with the magic number. May have to send a couple because it may be hard to pinpoint the exact comment but you get the idea. So keep watching this space (as they say) and don't forget to leave a comment, especially when that magic number is getting close. Beside what blogger doesn't love receiving comments!
I note this lady who usually had her Mum and a friend or two read her blog - she then posted an item on ebay with a funny story attached and had over 300 comments left and over 597100 hits!! Gee I get excited when there are more than 3 comments left on mine - imagine over 300!
