Returning to my Crazy Art Quilting
I am a crazy quilter at heart but I have been seduced by the tambour hook and all the shinny sequins and beads etc. I am attempting a crazy art quilt. I started it before Christmas and was interrupted by life and other projects. I am working on it again and have two corner pieces done. They each a triangle measuring 21 x 21 x 30 inches. They are facing one another... and I have not removed them from my slate frame or cut them apart yet. As you might notice the center circle ( where I got my header on the blog) will be repeated in each corner and the flower detail will be in the two lower corners of each corner triangle.

Memories of Stitching classes
Each Christmas I pull out these hand stitched decorations and hang them in the archways of my living room. This year as I put them away I felt a surge of happy stitching memories. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity of taking lessons from Lynn Payette on a weekly basis or 5 or 6 years.
It was an open class room. At times we were working on one of Lynn's designs or we were working on a project or our own. Each year Lynn would design a Christmas decoration or two and the entire class would participate in stitching it.
