Quilt Retreat 2021

 This is  a project I started in 2021 when I attended SAQA Ohio rereat.

I was inspired by all the show and shares and different techniques. It was wonderful to hear about each one's process and see it closely. Also got to try some gelli printing, which was fun. This could be something I would be interested to incorporate into my quilts.























 I have started quilting it recently. Want to do some painting to add some depth and dimension, but it's intimidating for me. Chembarathi is the tamil name for Hibiscus flower. Hoping to complete this project by December 2023.


Blogging after a hiatus

Have not been blogging or sewing for a very long time. I had stopped buying fabrics since I had accumulated some stash and was thinking to make use of what I have before buying more. But no sewing was getting done. All I was doing was just watching other people sew.  When a quilting subscription box ad popped on my facebook page, I couldn't resist it. I decided to sign up for it and told myself, if I didn't sew anything from it for 2 months in a row, I'd cancel it. Ever since I received my first box in May 2023, I have been sewing a little everyday or almost everyday. I also joined SAQA strolling along 45 day challenge. These 2 things had me sewing a few things. Here are some pics of my recent sewing adventure. My goal is get all of these quilted by october 31st.
