I just got some good news that a blogger friend of mine and former swap partner Krista from Poppyprint was just published in Canada's first ever quilt magazine, Quilter's Connection.  Congrats Krista!  Read about it on her blog.  Click here to subscribe for Quilter's Connection.

Square 8 Stitch-A-Long

For the love of music!

I made this square to represent my love for music and singing. I have gone on many tours singing with the POA adult choir, POA youth choir, Louisiana All State Choir, a presidential inauguration, and have sang on my own various places. I also spent a little time in the studio.

Square 7 Stitch-A-Long

A vintage shoe button because I really like shoes!

Square 6 Stitch-A-Long

Here is a cloche hat because I really like them!

I used brown DMC pearl cotton to outline the hat, fuchsia silk ribbon for the center, and made a little green flower out of silk to finish it off. This is like the first hat I bought myself in the early 90's.

Square 5 Stitch-A-Long

One of my favorite fabrics!
