A Flimsy and a Few Small Projects

Yeah....I got all the sashing, corner stones and border done for my block swap sampler quilt done.


I apologize for the wonkyness...but its just a flimsy and didn't want to hang straight.  I had just enough of the red fabric I used in my block for the border and binding.  My block is the top left block.  I used the blue from my block for the corner stones.  It is now on the pile to be machine quilted.


I was late to the party....I just started my blocks for the sew along designed by Jeni in the willow.

This is Part 2.  I showed you Part 1 last week.  I have a photo of it in my header.

I still need to do some button hole stitching around the flower.  I needle turn appliqued the basket handle and star.

I have to embroider Love on the house.

Next I am printing up Part 3.  








I'm slowly catching up with Cheri Payne's Common Threads.  A couple of weeks ago I finished Block 9.  I had already made block 10.  Yesterday I made the 16 little log cabin blocks for block 11.  


Those little blocks were so time consuming.  This morning I put them together. I really love them.  This block is 12" finished.  Later today I hope to start on Block 12.  That will finish up this pattern pack.


We are finally getting some good weather.  By good I mean warmer temps and sunshine.  We went walking Sunday at the park....but then I came down with the flu.  This has been a lousy year for colds and flu.  I guess it would have much worse if I hadn't gotten a flu shot this year.


I hope you are enjoying good health, warm weather, sunshine and time to be creative.  Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Cathy
