Lots of sewing going on at my house. My sewing room is in a constant state of pretty messes. I completed block four in Donna's quilt along. I love the Churn Dash block. It says generations of quilters to me. I'm having fun with these blocks. Lastly, I want to show you the beginnings of a pillow cover for the Holiday Pillow Talk swap I'm a part of. This block is in the Summer issue of Quiltmakers 100 blocks. I did some tweaking to it. The most fun part was the book. I found a picture of a vintage book online and copied it onto fabric. I found the Little Golden Book fabric in my stash and put the book together. Very, very fun sewing! Blessings!
Smiles,
I love your sampler blocks!! And the Christmas pst Says "Christmas" in the most delightful way. I have a special basket of books I bring out at Christmas time and my kids are always so happy to see them each December.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that little golden book fabric is so perfect I can't believe it! The whole block is simply darling, and I love the patterns and colors you are using for the quilt along:>)

ReplyDeleteYour blocks are so pretty I love your fabric, The golden book block is so sweet. What a great idea to to copy a book cover on to some fabric. You always have so much cuteness in your sewing room.

Hi, Renee!
ReplyDeleteThat was so clever of you to make the little Golden Book. The quilt is darling. I'm on cloud nine as I write this, as I met Susan Branch today at my favorite quilt store, Strawberry Patches, here in Bakersfield, CA.; had such a wonderful time. She was doing a book signing there. I first became acquainted with her blog from reading your Blogs I Heart list. So your blog is usually the first blog I read. I'm a real fan of you both.
Happy Sewing!
Nancy
