Miss Rose

Another two blocks for Miss Rose:

Sorry about the creases..I had finished it a while ago, and put it away.


This block still needs the lampshade to be stitched in place, as well as the buttons. (This block is to be pressed prior to stitching that lampshade.)

Annabelle in Wonderland

I have been busy, busy with so many different things.  Here is an update on my progress on one of my newest designs.  I am calling it Annabelle in Wonderland, but maybe if I get a better suggestion,  I will change it.  Any ideas?  You will notice that Annabelle is a mixture of the March Hare, the Mad Hatter and a little bit of herself.   You can see the 'magical' door and the little mushroom guy (from a previous post).  There is a top-hatted caterpillar, a fancy teacup, ladybug, a key, a "Humpty" bee, and a magic potion bottle, as well.  Once I finish the remaining vine borders, they will be attached.  (And yes, I do know that some leaves and circles are missing on one of the borders...gonna finish those up today.)

Another finish!!

A big happy dance going on here!  My Merry Mouse-mas! quilting was finished last week.  I attached the piece binding, finishing it yesterday.  Yeah!  It turned out pretty cute.  Here's a video showing the individual blocks and border.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you enjoyed the little video.

The Enchanted Garden

The Enchanted Garden is another freebie BOM that I have been working on lately. By Shabby Home, this one includes patchwork, applique and some embroidery.  Check it out here. 

Initially, I tried to make mine in similar colors to the original.  But, I was not very happy with my results.  So, I decided to try something else.  I have used some of my Japanese fabrics, some Lynette Anderson fabrics and a few others.  Luckily, I had a very large piece of linen fabric that was originally intended for another project I decide not to complete.

This is the upper left section.  So far, there are four blocks for the top row.  Here's the next one:
 

And another:

And the final section:

 

Lots of little petals and leaves for that middle section.  Now to wait for the next part. :)

Playing...

I have been playing around with a few corner blocks for my Annabelle in Wonderland.  This one finished up very quickly.  He or maybe she...makes me smile.  :)  Meet Shroomie:

This corner block is only 6" square.  Next, a very small door with a very big keyhole!

Glimpses

Between working on Love Entwined, I have been working on yet another freebie BOM.  This one is called "The Enchanted Garden" by Shabby Home.  The model is shown in some very pretty pastel pinks and greens.  I did start to make it in very similar colors.  However, since these are not my 'usual' choices, I was not too happy with the results.  So...instead I chose to use some of my Lynette Anderson blue fabrics, as well as an assorted selection of fabrics, including some Japanese ones.

As the title above indicates, for now, a few glimpses...

I'm still working on adding all the smaller patchwork pieces to the first four blocks, but once complete, a few full-size pictures of the blocks.

LE Update

Bad picture aside...here is an update on my Love Entwined progress. 

Lots of wrinkles, too...but still have a lot more work to do before I want to press it again.  The corners need doing, two more six-pointed flowers at the top and another heart motif. It's getting there, little by little.
