Quilting Challenges...

I don't want to wait until the very last minute for the Quilt Show Challenges so I worked on both of them today. Quilt Show is September 17-18. This is the fabric for the "Block" Challenge. The theme is "Branching Out". I got my Block made, but may make another one with more contrast. This is really a "challenge" to me because it is working with Batik fabrics...not my favorites. There is also a Quilt Challenge at our Walla Walla Valley Quilt Show using the "Branching Out " theme. Again I thought I would use the Batiks so here's a sneak peek of the project. I think I have the basic part of this Mini quilt done. Now for the Handwork and Quilting and embellishing. Thanks to Lynn for letting me use some of her Batik 'stash' for this Challenge. Both the "Block" and 'Theme' Challenges are Viewers choice so I hope some people like them. There is a really good story about how this quilt came to be and I like how it is turning out so far... Lastly, I have this fabric that I need to make a project with for the Shop Hop coming up this month. I see a lot of Possibilities in it but am still trying to think of how to use the fabric best. What do you see?? This one is the first one due, (September 13th) so I need to get on it quick! The Winner is chosen by a Viewers Choice from those who attend the "Shop Hop" at Sew 'n Vac.

Just one more day until I get to see the results from my entries at the Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days. Can I stand the Wait??? I guess I have to since the Fair doesn't open until 10am.

Check back Wednesday for Pictures of my entries with ribbons...
