Love the bus! Great stars Jan.
I've been making 8" crumb blocks from some PC fabrics which wandered into my sewing room. These are "someone's" odds N ends. I fussy cut 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 inch squares from the scraps before I started sewing. Have 25 of them sewn. Added some of my own neutrals to help define the scenes. Getting ready to cut the sashing. Might see if I can find some rope fabric on black for the cornerstones tomorrow if not I have a black gold print I can use. Borders and binding should be lurking in my stash somewhere![ATTACH=CONFIG]428555[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]428556[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]428557[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]428558[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]428559[/ATTACH] |
OK - that is going to be wonderful! Just love what you've done with that fabric. I still have some left, even after cutting those 5" squares for my PC border, and putting some in the backing.

Finished work, and now I can play and am now in catch-up-read-mode before supper with fresh sweet corn tonight! :) No, I did not find the photo I was looking for, but I did get many of my pics labelled and sorted into a better file system as I searched. Productive! Today was a Holiday Monday, so I didn't mind taking the time for the file updates ... though it did prevent the sewing I had planned! :( Tonight I will get the Sept MB started.
MiraB ... hooray for Marjen almost finished!!! Yes, balsamic is sweet and nice. Oops just remembered I have both red and white. Didnt realize I have a stash of vinegar! Yes, keep that man out of your "space"!! :) Anael ... Another beautiful star! Must be time for a group shot! I am terribly tempted with those stars but NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Honchey .. have a great time with your DSis. Of course she KNOWS why you come to visit! Do you think there'll be a computer as a BINGO prize tonight? JanRN ... Starlight, Starbright!! ... Perfect! OKSGlad ... That's wonderful! You're going to have an unique "pony club" quilt! Am I right that there's a DGD that's a pony enthusiast? Maybe have her do one of those blocks ... or is this a secret for a gift to come? |
Fabrics do look a bit familiar; good job with the blocks. I sent blocks to GG, only to discover more. So starting a second box.
My last sewing table is in at the shop. Now to figure out when I can get there to pick it up. Have the room ready, totally clear floor for all the tables. Got in there this afternoon to sew; cut out pieces for the next MB, and started sewing...no seam. Looked closer, no thread in upper part. LOL!!:D Neither new bulb came on!:thumbdown: Bummer. Try to see if I can find time tomorrow to do a bit. JanRN, what a star line-up!! Fabulous. Who can resist those beautiful stars??? |

Here's what I finished on the weekend and delivered.
Also, finished Miss August ... though you're not going to get a peak of it yet! :) 2013 is the 100th year for 4-H in Canada. Our County 4-H organization decided to make some quilt(s) to celebrate. The quilt(s) will be put together and hung in the local libraries. Kits were distributed to all interested with instructions to make a 12" block (finished), using all 3 fabrics, and add whatever else you wish. First is the kit fabric ... I managed to make two blocks from the one kit. I'm calling the one on the right my "heritage" block. [ATTACH=CONFIG]428563[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]428561[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]428562[/ATTACH] |
Jan--your stars are looking good!
OK--your blocks look like a lot of fun. Great way to use up the scraps. QE--I like your block choices for the fair. Nice way to use the fabrics. |
