Doodle Blocks

I have a number of small quilts that I made over the years for one reason or another.

My tulip wandered a little outside the box...

This little appliqued tulip block represents one of the years I served on the a very special quilt show committee.

My thread tension was off on the web, but I sort of like the look.

In addition to the work we did to host an annual quilt show, committee members contributed their time and talents to create a raffle quilt. 

The proceeds from our show and the raffle quilt helped provide scholarships for students attending the the local community college.

I often include spiders and other surprise critters in my quilting.

Using leftover fabrics from the raffle quilt

each quilt show committee member made a block of their own to wear on our black pull-over vests during the show.

Inspiration for a bed-sized Dresden Plate quilt in my pile of PIPs.

These blocks represent two of the years I served on the committee.  

I never had time to quilt them way back when...

but it's been fun to go back and work on them

as quilting warm-up projects.

These two seem appropriate to share for a touch of spring.

I have lots of small pieces created over the years and plenty of sample blocks left over from various projects that work well to pull out and doodle with once in a while.

Brie has had some challenging days as of late.  

Today was a little better so I will be working through a little quilting therapy in my studio this evening.

Happy Quilting!
