Princess Bubbles Creates

When I saw this quote this morning it reinforced my opinion.   “I think that it is useless to fight directly against natural weaknesses. One has to force oneself to act as though one did not have them in circumstances where a duty makes it imperative; and in the ordinary course of life one has to know these weaknesses, prudently take them into account, and strive to turn them to good purpose; for they are all capable of being put to some good purpose.” - Simone Weil, Waiting For God To me it is akin to working within your limitations.  I have many but I don't let it stop me!

I think this block is finished.  I have been working on the blocks for this quilt for years!  Far too many years! Yet, I find it is good to put something away at times.  I only have two blocks left to finish for this quilt and they are close so that feels good.  I would love to get this quilt all put together. Thanks to Sharon B at http://pintangle.com/  for the help in keeping on track!

Again, another new stitch.  I struggled with getting the tension and spacing correct.  However, I really do like the stitch and will add it to other blocks.  Eventually I will get it right!

May 11 Print making in many forms will be our play for the day.  We will be experimenting with transfer prints/paints as well as a number of other forms of printing.   A mixed media delight!  I LOVE print making, there is so much potential and it is oh so fun! May 22 I am teaching for the quilt festival in St. Jacobs.  We will be creating funky fibre beads.   http://www.stjacobs.com/sites/default/files/Quilt%20Festival%20Calendar%202013%20Page%202_0.pdf

The table cloth with the blue hand embroidery is so gorgeous!  It is almost too good to cut up but I don't have a round table to use it on.  The bracelets I will definitely take apart to use the beads.  Oh how I wish I had the time today to stitch!

This is the my May crazy quilt block.  I love that I am working ahead now!  I started the year off kind of slow but I have it in gear now.  There is still plenty to do though.

Another new stitch to me.  I really like this stitch a lot.  I will definitely be adding it to future crazy quilt blocks.  My tension certainly needs work but that will come with practice. Thanks to Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/  for the instructions.
