Cake!

In one of my quilting guilds there was a fat quarter challenge. The dark green background behind the cake is the one I picked out of the box. The challenge is to create a quilt that is at least 12x12 and that uses the fat quarter in at least 40% of the quilt, unless you are making a full quilt. I took the opportunity to try something new, and will be hand quilting and embellishing for the first time. You can see Sadie above with the beginning of the wall hanging I am making. I am going to quilt it, then I will add candles and beads to it.

Tonight, I learned how to hand quilt! I went to my friend's house (another guild member who lives in my neighborhood!!!) and she showed me how to hand quilt. Contrary to my expectations, I liked it! I have also added some beads to the flowers. Below you can see what I did tonight. Stay posted... I will be decorating my cake!
