Challenge Peek...

Does this fabric look familiar?

Click Image to Enlarge:

I hope so...

It is our 2010 HVQ Batik Challenge Fabric

I thought I would give you a little sneak peek at what I have done so far on my challenge project:

As soon as I saw the fabric my thoughts immediately went to FLOWERS

It was fun fussy cutting the shapes from the yellows and pinks and oranges in this batik fabric...

Last week I put the border on...

Yes, I went and bought half a yard more of the challenge fabric for the border.

I am hoping this will go under the needle very soon.

I am feeling some pressure...

Less than 4 weeks until our BIG REVEAL.

How is your challenge project coming along?

Spray Basting

The Harlan Quilters created this quilt as a donation to the Women's Cancer Coalition.

It is their 2011 Raffle Quilt.

It will raise funds for Women's Cancer Programs

The day was perfect for spray basting...

No wind and warm outside.

Frieda put us all to shame...

She basted 2 quilts today!

Frieda won these blocks 2 years ago at our 3 Day Retreat

Frieda also won this plaid star quilt top at our retreat!

The weather was perfect, 80+ degrees, for basting quilts outside on the patio.

The basting spray works so much better in a warmer climate.
