treasures n textures treasures n textures dare to be creative saturday january 30 2016 happy village i attended quilting in the desert a quilt camp held annually in the phoenix area my class was happy villages karen eckmeier was the instructor and is the author of the book happy villages below is our starting point a blue sky and pieces of fabric cut according to instructions and arranged on a batting background next we started to build our village by adding a roof here and there windows and doors were added to some of the houses i also added a palm tree at this point below is how my village looked at the end of two days of classes i still need to do more free motion quilting and add embellishments before applying a binding the colors are a little muted because we added a layer of tulle over the entire village before beginning to quilt my inspiration came from a photo on tammy s blog http tsdailytreasures blogspot com she had the photo on her blog late last year it was a shopping mall in dubai that resembled a souk i asked her permission to use the photo as an inspiration the color palette came from a photo i found of a bead vendor in a souk last i also used a photo of a palace in dubai i tried to use the shaped of arches doors and windows that resembled those found in my inspiration photos this was a great class i will be teaching the grand daughters to make a

runway special edition it is highly rated by consumer reports as a beginning machine and i read some great reviews on the web i got a great deal at my local mulqueen s sewing center they were excited when i delivered it to their home r 2 youngest granddaughter started sewing lessons from mema that s me in december she made a pillowcase using the burrito method if you haven t seen this method of constructing a pillowcase just google burrito pillowcase her next project was a cat i found the pattern on craftsy r 2 decided she wanted a gray cat which was the first project on the new machine she decided the pattern needed arms and a tail she drew a pattern and sew arms and a tail it turned out very cute r 1 oldest granddaughter decided she wanted to join in the fun and made this travel pillow following directions from crafty gemini if you haven t seen the crafty gemini videos you should check them out she makes sewing fun and the granddaughter s love to watch her videos the girls made four of the neck pillows on their last sewing day of christmas vacation they even made mema one we had fun picking out fleece at joann s and fleece was 50 off that day posted by pam at 1 14 pm 4 comments
