Vicki at 2 Bags Full is again hosting the Grow Your Blog party! Be sure to hop over to her site HERE for links to hundreds of great blogs. |
If you are new to my blog, I'm Karen and I live in Minnesota where we need lots of quilts----perfect for me because I like to make them!
Each year the Stitch Therapy group work on a project together. It is so inspiring to see how many versions there can be to one pattern!
Some of our past projects include:

This is the quilt that started it all! (Sadly--it's not quilted yet...) |

I made the quilt as a model for the quilt shop--it turned into a class and the class turned into the Stitch Therapy group! |

I stitched a second version in Redwork during the class. |

At least this one is quilted. |

The quilt was made before Lori began designing fabric for Riley Blake. My label is dated 2008, but I may have pieced it before that. |
Some of the Stitcher's did their versions in all applique.
I thought adding the dog-tooth border was kind of fun.

The Wish Quilt. This pattern was first published in an Australian magazine, which is when I made my version. I started my blog so I could post updates for my class to help create this quilt-- now a free pattern from Bronwyn Hayes (Red Brolly). |

I hate working the satin stitch, so I used colored pencils (and occasionally markers) to fill in those areas. I know--slacker..... |

I also used crystals instead of French Knots. |
I'm not sure if I've forgotten a project or two,
Thanks again for stopping in--come back soon--there's lots more going on!
