flutter and a giveaway

Amidst all of the holiday prep and playing, I found a bit of time to escape to the studio….

I have been itching to play with Flutter….

I wanted to play with Candice’s chevron project from the book the Quilted Fish and the Design Team put together.

Here are some of my groupings…

With this project, I learned the hard way that it is very important to FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!  Cutting 45 degree angles means you have to pay attention….

I love it!!  I have an idea for where I go from here, but it will have to wait…

The giveaway for this week….what do you spy??  I did add a couple of pieces after taking this picture.  So Happy New Year to each of you!!  As we say good-bye to 2012, may a New Year ahead be full of adventure….Happy Sewing!

    I spy fun fabrics that want to come and play at my house! Those darned instructions…projects do go better when we read and follow as opposed to glance and go! Happy New Year.
