April has whizzed by, bringing with it lots of rain and some time to quilt! In Ottawa it looks like May will follow with more rain. If you can't be in the garden, you may as well be playing inside with colours of your own choosing. |

It's time for the April draw. As you may remember, our April prize is a pattern from Lorna of Sew Fresh Quilts. Thank you Lorna for your generosity.
And our winner this month is Terry Aske of Terry Aske Art Quilt Studio. Congratulations!

Here is my completed Celebrate - Fêtons 150 project for April. I really like the way it came out. I even tried for some "Zendoodle" type embroidery in the title. That was a lot of fun!

Here is the label for this piece. I couldn't resist using the moose - he's so cute!

Thanks for sharing inspiring projects in this fun event!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alida! It's starting to get a little harder to find new patterns, but I'm going to the quilt show this weekend, so should be able to add these to the posts. Thanks for dropping by :-)
DeleteCan't wait to see your piece. (I should have joined your hop this year!) Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck on your project.
ReplyDeleteHi Patty, Alida had two Art with Fabric hops last year and she's always looking for participants. At least this month's OMG was something that I had to get done - so no extra stress!
DeleteLove the doodled embroidery on your leaf - nice touch! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan. That was so much fun to make. Doodling and colouring sure is "in" this year!
DeleteWhat great patterns and projects. I, too, love the moose and have used it a couple of times over the years.
