And the 2 baby quilt tops I am working on. Will probably add some applique and/or embroidery...especially to that green square. The colors in the photos are a bit off.

Everyone did great! My Yesterday is similar to Nancy's. This is a photo of my great-grandparents, Franks and Edna Machado, in 1911.

What beautiful Yesterdays! It's an amazingly creative way of making your personalities and artistic personae really come through and shine. I wish I were participating too but can't seem to find a way of fitting it in. I'll have to be satisfied with admiring your work and not playing along.

My goodness but you all have been so creative! Each one is beautiful and unique. I am sorry to say that I did not get anything done. :( I have just been too busy in the past few weeks to do any quilting at all. I am hoping to get into the sewing room tomorrow for a bit though. What's the next challenge? Maybe I will be able to make that deadline.

Nancy, I love, love, love that you combined all the very special things your mother made in such a wonderful gift for your sister. How special it must have been to handle and touch her work while you added your own. I think it's beyond special.

Ritzy, Your butterfly is wonderful. I love that the pebbles repeated part of the actual background in the photo.

Sue, I love all the techniques you combined in your piece. It's just beautiful. I will join you in not being quite finished, but far enough along to post.

Wendy, Your Sweet Pea is gorgeous. I love it. How special that you got to meet Kaffe at FoQ. Thanks for pushing us to do this.

My CW Challenge quilt is called "Yesterday a Flower Bloomed". Actually this one bloomed in my garden last summer. I drew it from a photo and colored it with Tuseniko Pens and then add just a little free motion embroidery.

Wendy, In your honor, I placed my little quilt up-side-down and since I don't know how to fix it, it will just have to stay that way. The quilt is still awaiting it's binding. I have not yet found cream colored rattail chord. I may have to look online.

Wendy,
"Yesterday, I tried a new technique, tipped off by TQS". Or, wow about "Yesterday I learned, today I practiced." Crikey.

I know it's a stretch. I'm not very creative. I pondered portraits, couldn't come up with a way that made sense to me. Like Ritzy, I needed something I could almost get done on time, or sort of.

It's not the same tangle that is on FB. I found out, with KK3 software, to save every image if I ever want to see it again. When the image is re-opened in KK#, it changes immediately, so printing has to be done in another program, unless, of course, we print during the design process. I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager a lot.

Yours, as always, has the colors of dreams. Beautifully done!

And now mine ...

Yesterday (37 years ago) my mum was alive. She loved sweat peas and grew fabulous show ones so this quilt is for her

The back is Kaffe Fasset fabric in honour of my mother in law who had Multiple Sclerosis. I found out through Philip Jacobs one of KAffe Fassett Collective, that Kaffe wrote to her when she was making one of his needlepoint kits. I was able to thank him at FOQ in Birmingham. Nice man :D

I've learn't I'm not keen on the effect of thread painting but it was fun trying and that I need to be tidier on the back :lol:

Susan that's amazing. Is it the zentangle you showed us before. Are they intense inks? And what's the link with yesterday or am I being dumb :D

Robyn yours is great. Which Bernina did you get :D

Nancy your's is gorgeous and a real yesterday flavour. Lovely gift. :D

And Ritzy it's stunning, well done you've done it so well. I'm going to have a good look at them all in a bit and work out your techniques :D

This has been so worth the wait :P

I just can't meet a deadline. Thread is on order for quilting and I'm trying to figure out how to stay within the 8.5 by 11 size limitation. Maybe I won't :roll:

Obviously, influenced by Kaleidoscope Kreations show #..., I used one of my "zentangles", scanned, printed on Jacquard cotton, probably from Dharma Trading, then colored with Derwent Inktense pencils, used my color wheel to help choose colors.

I figured out afterward, that if my Zentangle has smooth edges, I'll get completed patterns around the edges.

This is awesome fun.
