Some More Stitchin'

 

I finished Block #7 of the LMS Quilty Stitches with 

 

A little purple and orange

 

 

I have some super secret sewing I need to

get busy on.  So, I will just leave you

with these..

 

 

Chopping up some Kona Fields of Irises

(Isn't it Pretty,

I LOVE Solids)

For a Graduation Present

I can't wait to get busy sewing

this up and

showing it off.

 

 

 



My SUPER POWER!!

 If you are looking for the EQ7 Hop Post you can find it HERE.

I do believe that we

are all blessed with certain

SUPER Powers.

It is how we use

them that makes all

the difference.

When the Super Powers hop

came around, I thought ahhh

this should be really pretty easy.

Then, it came down to

what do I really like to do.

Well, the list could fill up

a page of likes and loves.

I thought I would share with you

a little more about me.  If,

you have followed me awhile,

you know how much I love to do anything

crafty, but did you know.

One of my favorite Super Powers is

I love to garden and spend

every possible moment outside

My yard is filled with hundreds,

maybe thousands of bulbs that bloom in the

spring and well,

that is just the spring.

I love every part of spending

time outdoors.
I love pulling weeds (Yes, a little weird I agree),
mowing the lawn, planting, pruning...

So, at first I picked Outdoors

as a Super Power

and made these....

All bright and cheery napkins

like my Outdoors Super Powers

or garden is.  All stitched with DMC threads,

I have never used anything but. 

Let's say my thread collection is a

bit extensive.

Well, last night

I was thinking

Loving the Outdoors Really

Isn't My Super SUPER Power

So, I picked up a needle and went to work on this

Have you figured it out yet?

Being BUSY really is

my SUPER POWER.

I can't go any length of time

without a needle, hook, pencil, paper,

hammer, shovel, book, camera, etc....

in my hands to keep me

BUSY! 

Life's

too short not to be.

Well, since this was

a Super Power Hop

What is Super Powers without

a Super Hero or maybe a

Super Villain?

Well, what would life be like if

Batman didn't have Catwoman

to chase around?

My kiddos love the old

Adam West Batman TV series.

So, now one of the

kiddos will be sporting

Catwoman around.

You can find this pattern in my

Craftsy store.

So what are your SUPER POWERS?

Check out these other hoppers

who reveal their powers.

EQ7 Photo Fun Hop and Giveaway

Let's start with I LOVE

my EQ7!  I have designed most

of my quilts in it

and enjoy playing with it.

 

When Carol asked me to join in

the Photo Fun hop,

I of course jumped right in.

 

 

 

I started with a picture I had taken

of a primrose in my backyard.

 

 

 

I played with it a bit with

the generic photo shop on my computer

to change up the colors to be a little

brighter.

Which ended looking like this...

 



 

 

I am going to make a pixel quilt

so it is easier to make the colors

a little bolder.

 

First start with a new screen

 

Name your new project

and then

 

 

You need to start a new quilt

and then select Photo Patchwork.

 

 

Go to the Photo Tab

Then you can import your

photo which is located on

the top right hand side.

Pick your photo,

the photo will be then imported to

your quilt.

 

 

 

Your quilt will look like this

I wanted my design to cover the

whole quilt, so

 

 

 

after using Outside fit the

design covers the entire quilt.

 

So how would this all

look in fabric?

 

 

 

 

I added the black borders around the quilt.

 

 

And here is the end product

 

 

 

 

I am quite in love with Pixel.

And have a few more

quilts in mind using it.

 

Go and Check out a little more

EQ inspiration.
