Choosing the fabrics was hard for me. I think I left the class with the least amount of work completed. I came home and changed out several fabrics and then started in on My quilting plan.
I really need to remember to draw these things out in graph paper before jumping in. I stitched and removed the entire border as well as some leaves I had stitched in.
After getting advice and critiques from my online friends I followed some of their advice and also conjured up some of my own creative twists. I am loving dabbling in the art quilt world. I actually tried the trapunto process with this at the advice of my friend Peggy Holt.
Also after many years following Leah Day's blog and YouTube videos, I finally decided to buy one of her books just as a way I guess of thanking her for all of her free tutorials that she's provided through the years. I cannot wait to start stitching out some of these designs. I thought I had seen all of them and knew so many but I am humbled by her work.
Have you purchased her book? Every picture is in color! I thought the price was reasonable considering they're all in color. If you can't figure out how she stitches them, you can go to www.LeahDay.com/365 to find all the tutorials.
Thanks for stopping by.

Very nice! I took this class last year and I have yet to finish mine. I may start over because my fabric choices didn't work out.
I really like your Wild Child - very nice, Mary. Lovely quilting. Good for you for finishing it. I so often take a workshop and then never complete the piece 😝
