Heart's Desire

This portion of Heart's Desire has the  same block repeated three times.  Here's my first one:

And a little bit closer:

PiP's

Finished another block for Patriots in Petticoats (PIP)...this was one I had set aside.  Now here it is:

There are a few little "fussy cut" flower in this block.

Night Before Christmas

It seems funny to be posting something that has to do with Christmas this time of year, doesn't it?  I (finally) redid my Block 2 for Night Before Christmas BOM.  I had majorly messed up my first attempt....don't ask. :)

Good news is,  it is done,  and I am currently caught up with at least one of my BOM's. It is a bit difficult to get a nice flat picture when our fan is blowing the block around!

Block 2 Night Before Christmas

                                      A  lot  of  work!  But - I am pretty happy with how it turned out (this time). ;)

Especially (this is for you - Anne Marieke!)  the little mouse's hands and ears!

HAPPY EASTER!

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Easter!

more pretties

You know how it is....you only need one thing from the quilt store.....but those aisles and aisles of luscious new fabrics each call out to you to be included in that one special project....(OK...maybe I am the only one that "listens" to fabrics calling my name...LOL!)  What do you do?  What do you do?  Well, take some of them home with you, of course!


These little pretties are for yet another future project...In My Garden by Hatched and Patched Designs.

The sheep's in the meadow

OMG!  Look at her fat, round little body!  Too much!  This little pincushion took a bit longer than the bon-bon one.  Her little bunny ears are removable; once Easter is over, she can still be displayed.

I also completed the first block for Lynette Anderson's new freebie BOM, Christmas Fun. You do have to sign up at a participating shop for this one.  You pay for the cute, wooden buttons and receive the chart with it.

(It does lay flat, I just didn't realize that it was sitting a bit odd until after the picture.)

Heart's Desire

Block 2:

: 

Finally...lot more work here, than I originally thought.  The bird is supposed to be "similar" (and I stress - similar) to a Baltimore oriole.  I am working within a specific range of colors, so the colors of the bird are a bit more subdued .

Now to work on Block 3, which is really three blocks of the same thing.  Those blocks will go with Block 2 without a bird, but with some added flowers.
