Kimber,
Congratulations! And Woohoo $50! I share your fear of being judged and honestly, I don't think I'm there yet but hope to be some day. But it sure is encouraging when someone like Ricky says that's how he started, isn't it?

Thanks, Patti! No doubt on the encouragement, though I'm no where near the free thinking creativity Ricky possesses

Are you going to the guild meeting tomorrow? RuthAnn is going, so I'll get to meet her IRL (yay!)

Kimber, that is really beautiful. Tell us how you did it. Congratulations on a job well done and the appreciation of others for it.

Nancy in NC

Thanks, Nancy! Its not a method I've seen around anywhere, but basically, its made up of a bunch of small squares (I think I used 3" squares). I folded them in 1/2, then kind of rolled them into a cone. I then laid them out on the fabric and pinned them to how I liked them. I then tacked them each down - the stitching is hidden for all but the top layer. I have 3 layers of squares around the wreath. After it was all tacked down, I layered it, sewed up the sides, turned it, and fluffed the squares to make it more dimensional. I didn't quilt the top too much since I'm still developing my skills in that area

Thanks, Kathy - my stash has definitely been calling me more. Since the wall hanging was my own creation, I'm getting more brave to do my own thing.

That's awesome, Ricky!! There is hope for me yet! BTW - I just finished piecing my first convergence top and have received a huge amount of compliments on it. Such a simple method that produces an outstanding piece!

Congratulations! Hope this is the first of many!

Thanks, Louise - I hope so to! I started on another creation yesterday that I hope to put in a couple shows this summer. Nothing juried yet - all are 'popular' vote. One of these days I'll overcome my fear of being judged
