Kids Kamp at the shop is behind us. I don't think that is my calling. I had to work all week and I got behind on so many things including laundry and house cleaning. The latter I could live with. My quilting projects are a different story. Below is a picture of three completed projects. The youngest here is seven and the oldest is 10. They picked out their fabric and learned things like the 1/4" seam, RST, and butting up edges, just to name a few.
Now I'm on to a new project. This quilt pictured below is the Nursery Rhyme quilt. Four of the blocks are embroidered and five are smocked, embellished and sewen to the background fabric. The sashing strips and borders are also embroidered. 
This is a close up picture of a completed block with a smocked and embroidered dress. I have another doll dress quilt hanging in the shop and our customers are so impressed. Our regular's have been looking for something new to do and this seems to be the ticket. Starting the end of September I will be teaching the smocking technique and we will do this project as a BOM.
This little dress is called Candy Cane. If you want more information on these beautiful little dresses go to www.kreationsbykaron.com and check out her entire line of patterns. They are wonderful.This week I will be finishing my oldest grandson's quilt and starting on my daughter's wedding quilt. Yes, you heard it right, Tami is finally getting married to that awesome, one of a kind guy, Joe. We are so happy for the two of them. I really feel this is a match made in heaven. They set February 2012 for the month and haven't picked a date. I'm making the Bali Wedding Star quilt for them. A friend just made one for her daughter and she started it in January and finished in July. I think the pressure is on.
Speaking of pressure I better log off and get busy. So much to do and so little time. Have a blessed week.
