I seem to be in the middle of a few projects here which is kind of different for me. But it has made celebrating the Season a bit more fun....especially as I've avoided cleaning the house so far ;-)
Straits of Mackinac took the forefront for awhile. I have four more blocks to sew together.
The flowers for Autumn Bouquet are languishing a bit. I have seven more to stitch together.
Temecula's Tiny Tree is what got most of the attention. I had fun sewing the finished size 2 1/4" blocks into the tree. The background pieces gave me some fits and I had to re-do them using my second choice of fabric. The problem may have been that my seam to sew the blocks together was too small and thus the blocks too big ...rendering the background measurements too small. I may test this out and see if I can get it right using the pieces I originally cut for it....or I'll just cut them bigger and try to keep all those points for the finish. It was a lot of fun sewing those little blocks each day.
This also needs a bit more quilting on it. But it's a Tree!
Another project popped up on Quilt Doodles blog. She designs a lot of cute applique designs that she sells on Etsy and showcased one with a red mixer...just like my sister's!
Had to make this for her :-)
I'm linking here to Confessions of a Fabric Addict for Whoop it up Fridays. Hop over there for some great inspiration!
And Merry Christmas to you all! I pray that God's Gift of His Son, Jesus is in your hearts as you celebrate!
