These will be made for our sewing room / space / or spot. finish size 12" x 14, 16, or 18".
Be sure to put a sleeve or triangles on the back for hanging.

Nice Dotty! I certainly have lots of selvages saved. :)

i have so many buttons that they would be begging me to embellish that thread spool.

Nancia- I think I read that you're going to TX. We were there Feb and March....first Galveston, then Padre Island...people are very friendly. Also, we went to San Antonio 9 years ago for youngest sons graduation (Air Force).
Anyway, have a good trip and lots of fun.

Linny 07-14-2012 11:24 AM

Dotty- You're Selvage Spool is cool.

cherrio you make great blocks as i have seen your work in the boomerang swaps. it's similar in concept but you will be making it sewing themed this time. i remember in one of the boom swaps one person sent out sewing themed fabric and wanted sewing themed, embellished blocks back. i'm not sure if you were in my group then. so come play with us. stretch or increase your quilting skill set in a fun atmosphere.

abdconsultant 07-16-2012 03:16 PM

I've got one almost finished, I need to embellish now. fun......................

That is so cute!

Lynnie25 07-20-2012 12:08 AM

Got one little mini pieced ready for quilting. Then I found another cute pattern so I thought I'd give that a try too, will decide which one to send my partner when I get a name :)

Although I'm not joining in with the swap I wanted to share what I have hanging on my sewing room wall. If I ever finish my 'thesis in quilting/sewing' and graduate I'll frame it and hang it like my other college diploma, May in Jersey
