Looking forward to going to Heritage Day at historic Oak View County Park.
Capital Quilters will have a quilt auction and raffle (see flyer here - beautiful raffle quilt).
Made a small makeup bag for my sister - another birthday! (Remember, I've 6 sisters.) She just went to Paris. Her birthday was actually 2 weeks ago but I kept delaying trying to decide what to do. I went with a simple bag. The quilting (diamonds) was done with my walking foot.
Happy Stitching!
I am still making a decision on the background for my first Dresden plate block. I used Central Park charm pack.
Pillow or mini quilt?
Happy Stitching!
Quality time with my sewing machine and working on a BOM I purchased from Fat Quarter Shop. Although this BOM ended months ago, I've only managed nine blocks so far. Many of these were a lot of fun to assembled. As you can tell, all of these still need to be trimmed and they will each get a border. (For the photo shoot, I just laid 2 blocks side by side.)
The basket and the stocking I like both of these.
House and large ornament. The house was fun to put together.
No idea why blogger turned these around... Candy and more Ornaments. I think i made some errors on the candy blocks. If you look carefully, some of the corners are square and some are not. I will take this apart and fix it.
Again with blogger.
Gift packages and a wreath. This wreath pattern is quite fun to assemble and I made a small mini quilt from it last year.
And, finally, a stocking cap. This is my least favorite color combination. I may remake the block.
While I love many of the prints in this line, 12 Days of Christmas by Kate Spain, there are a few colors that I don't really like. I did some substitutions at times. Once all twelve blocks are done and laid out with borders, I'll get a good look at color. Fat Quarter Shop is very generous with their fabric cuts so I've enough extra to redo a block if necessary.
Ho Ho Ho.
Happy Stitching!
