In Sept. I joined a Block of the Month group at a local quilt shop. Last month's block was a poppy but I didn't really like the block. Instead I decided to do my own design. My shower curtain has poppies all over it. I used my digital camera to take a picture of a poppy on the curtain. Then on the computer I resized the picture and printed it out. Used the picture to create my pattern. I was surprised at how well it turned out. Here's a link to pictures. Poppy Block (http://www.flickr.com/photos/heyjudee/sets/1575798/) TTFN from

Judy, Very pretty! I think it is fun incorporating the computer and digital pics to make a block. Happy sewing/quilting/crafting

Thanks esrun3....Yep the wonky border lap quilt was made in the first quilting class that I took. That's when I learned everything I had been doing wrong. ![]() ![]() TTFN from

Just thought I would mention that the purse I made is for the Canadian Quilt Show that will be held in Ottawa in May 2006. I don't know all the details but a quilter provided the pattern and asked people to make and donate a purse - decorated as you choose - for the quilt show. Don't know who will be receiving them but she needs over 200. This is the one that I made. Who will receive it is anybody's guess!
