A work in progress....

Hi everyone,

Last night I decided that I would start finishing my Dresden Quilt. I wanted to hand quilt this quilt using crochet cotton. I have a lot of crochet cotton. So, I dug through my bin of crochet cotton and found the two colors I wanted to use. I wanted to try a quilt-as-you-go method to put this quilt together.

Sew, I sandwiched my block and started quilting it last night. It is definitely more difficult to hand quilt using the crochet cotton. But the effect is definitely worth it. What do you think??




I'm almost done quilting this block.
Then, I have 11 more blocks to go.

This is my UFO project to complete for the month of February.
So, here's crossing my fingers that I can get it done.

Blocks for Jennifer

Hi everyone,

Today, I finished sewing my blocks for Jennifer.

She had asked for uneven stars using this tutorial.


I had agreed to make an extra block since one of the other girls had a baby.

Here they are.



I just had to fussy cut the centers.
These are made with the "Dream On" fabric line.
The small little pinwheel blocks are made with the left overs from the blocks.
So, there's no waste.
Love that!!
The bottom little block is the signature block I made.
I haven't signed it yet. But I will.

I hope you like them.

Three blocks for Nicole!!

Sew....after resting a bit this morning,

I decided to finish Nicole's December block for the Maple Leaf Bee 1.

This was a fun block to make.

I really hope that she likes how I placed the fabric.


 Maple Leaf Bee 1 ended in December.

I decided to join the Maple Leaf Bee 2.
This time it's just 6 of us and we make 2 blocks each month.
February is the first month and Nicole is the first to go.

She wanted some Drunk Love style Log Cabin blocks.
I haven't done this block before.
I had fun with it, and will definitely do it again.

Here are the two blocks I made for that.



I hope Nicole likes them.
They were mailed off today.

Now, I just have to finish my January blocks for the Sew Modern Bee and I will be all caught up again.
I hope to work on those tonight.

Hugs
