Sound like the title of a cheap thriller movie?
Nope.
My Saturday night! DH out of town, DS is away at school, DD#2 was at a friends and DD#1 went to sleep early. I ended up with the house by myself at 9pm - this never happens!
So, I poured a glass of wine, popped in an old favorite dvd .....
and proceeded to rip back to the pinwheel blocks. Over the summer, I had attempted to assemble the blocks in a wonky way and I was not liking where this was heading.
I decided to start over. They will still be set on angle but I will do this a different way.
Hope your week goes well!
Happy Stitching!
With no particular plan in mind, I bought up quantities of I Love Lucy themed fabric two years ago.
One of my sisters loves Lucy.
For her birthday in 2010, I made her this:
For her birthday in 2011, I made her trivets with another printed Lucy panel (can't find that photo.)
For her upcoming significant birthday, I will be making her a quilt.
I've not yet figured out the pattern. Some of the fabric would be best fussy cut. I am thinking about stars where the star center is Lucy themed fabric and the star points are a solid. The whole thing would be on white background. But I am very much open to ideas and suggestions.
Any thoughts on how best to showcase my fabric but at the same time not allow it to take over the quilt and make one dizzy?
Happy Stitching!
I collect snowmen so I couldn't resist!
He comes from a book called Count on It by Nancy Halverson. There are a series of blocks you can make - one for each month and some extra for birthdays.
Now I just need to find some coal buttons for his eyes and mouth.
Happy Stitching!
