Holiday Extravaganza ~ Clue #10 

Similar to MAQ week I elected to forego a new technique in the Holiday Extravaganza Series.   I know many of you are with me at Quilt Odyssey,  and since I'm a little busy at Quilt Odyssey, it is difficult for me to answer a lot of questions that new techniques usually spark.  Don't worry, you still have work to do this week!  

 Holiday Extravaganza ~ Clue #10 ~Evergreen - Mirror Image

We will be making four Evergreen - Mirror Image Blocks!
You will be make (4) Evergreen - Mirror Image Blocks, with the V Block  tools from Studio 180 Design.   Many of you will remember that you made (4) Evergreen Blocks in Clue #4, however, now we are going to make the mirror image of Block #4.  Still, for tips and tricks, I'm going to refer you to Clue #4 Blog Post.
As stated in the download, Clue #10 produces the mirror image of Clue #4.  You can make 
these 4 Blocks with the same fabric as Clue #4 or with fabrics of similar color and value.  I chose to make them with similar color and value.

 Here are my Holiday fabric selection for Clue #4 side by side with Clue #10. (Sorry once again, I forgot to grab my block or snap a photo of them before packing the SUV-Crazy times.  I will replace when I get a chance to breathe). 

Here are my Vintage Christmas fabric selection, Clue #4 side by side with Clue #10.
Notice how they are Mirror Images, but the same color way and value.

 That is it for this week!  I need to get to breakfast and class!  Hope you have a great weekend and I sure hope to see you if you are in the PA area!

 Keep stitching,
Michelle

The 2nd pattern we test drove at the Studio 180 Design Certified Instructor's Retreat was Deb's Tucker's Northern Neighbors.  This is another pattern she plans on having out in a few months.  It was really neat. Plus, you don't need to go with the traditional Canadian Maple Leaves if you don't want to.... several of us Certified Instructors took it in several different directions.  Here are a few examples. This is Donna's - Just to die for!  Love the batiks!  She got really far - - she doesn't talk as much of the rest of us!  LOL Here is mine, with my Kaffe Stash: And then the groups, so you can compare and see how versatile the pattern is: This pattern will use the following Studio 180 Design's tools:  Split Rects, Corner Beam, Wing Clipper, Square2....  If you don't own then, this is a great weekend to purchase them at my etsy shop.  I'm offering 15% off if you spend $20 or more.  Use code: ENDMARCH  at my shop now throug

Woo Hoo!  A little productivity this weekend.  I was able to complete the piecing of my version of Atlantic Flyways for my February Class at Yankee Quilter ( www.yankeequilter.com ).  I'm hoping to get it quilted in the evenings this week (might be a challenge) and to drop off. I'm giving a Wing Clipper demo at Yankee Quilter this Saturday.  They have Flying Geese in their Block of the Month and have asked me to come demonstrate how to use the Wing Clipper.  I hope to have the Signs of Autumn Table Runner and Atlantic Flyway completed to show. Here is Deb Tucker's original: Fingers Crossed, it is back to work tomorrow!
