"it's a string Thing" #26

Copyright image used with permission from TanglePatterns.com  

In honor of Jo and her heart shaped string line as Valentine's Day nears - the challenge this week is to use the tangle patterns that you LOVE - your absolute favorites - your "mac 'n cheese" as Marie Thomas calls them.  This will be a sweet way to celebrate won't it?!

This challenge is from Adele Bruno. 
Here is my tile using the tangle I prefer lately.

I am a little bit disappointed by my red Sakura marker. Helen Williams' red is more smooth and brilliant, I am going to ask her what kind of marker or color pencils she uses.

Here are some more ZIA I have made these past days.



These past months I have made the 2 other quilts that are going to go in the same room that the one I have made for Tristan and Fantine (see one of my first post).
This one is for Delphine.

The pattern is Storm at sea. There is a little bit of pink, because Delphine is a girl!!!! (sic Tristan). That was my first "big" foundation project, I had made some little things in the past, like wall hangings.. 
The "take off the paper" part was A LOT OF JOB and very messy! my living room looked like it has been snowing there for several days!!!


This one is for Anthony, a log cabin. With orange, because "Dad is an Auburn fan" (sic Tristan)!!!

Now they are ready to be quilted and I didn't feel like doing it by hand, so I contacted a Longarm quilting lady but she was too busy right now. I need to make some research on a good quilter, somewhere.... I know there is Jane Monk (also CZT) but she is in Australia it is far from the States even from France!!

Thanks for reading my blog. I appreciate it.
I hope my English is understandable!!!! this is not my native language as you all know, I am French!

Have a good day, see you next time.
