Today I am sharing some show and tell from my last weeks stitching evening with my friends I thought I was crazy but Theresa is sewing these teeny 3 1/2 inch blocks....now that's crazy!
.Can you see the 20c piece.....amazing!
They are a border around this quilt. I have unfortunately forgotten the name.....sorry!
The colourway is just beautiful....navy, beige and reds. Such gorgeous perfectly formed little blocks.
Theresa and Diane are working on this quilt also. I sooo love it but I am ignoring it!
Some of Diane's blocks...
and Theresa's...
both so different and both so lovely. I think it is one of the things I love most about quilting. You can make it your very own simply by your colour choices. Thanks for sharing girls x
After lots of garden work I have been taking it a bit easy today. I finally settled on the medallion fabrics for Brinton Hall. This using one's stash can be a bit challenging at times but I am pleased with my final choices.....well I think I am....depends what else I uncover in the cupboard!
I have also finished another recommended read....
Can't say I loved it....but an interesting read.....anyone else read it? What did you think?
Ok folks,warning! Nana indulgence! Look away now if you need to! My dear Daughter loves taking photos particularly of children and her own plus her niece and nephew are often subjects. My Granddaughter and her niece celebrated her recent birthday with her cousin and her friends in a Peppa Pig Princess party lol! I love these photos she snapped of the birthday girl and my other Granddaughter enjoying the pretty patty cake.
The Princess of the day..
Peppa Pig patty cakes..
Big job blowing out that big candle.
Nearly there!
and then the best bit...
Cousin thought so too...
Loved these photos.

Namaste and Blessings,

Hello my lovely friend ,what gorgeous show and tell.
ReplyDeleteoh my your grand daughters are growing up so fast and what sweeties they are,wow your daughters makes the loviest cup cakes,hope you have a lovely day Michelle xx
Just beautiful Michelle ... both the show-n-tell AND the grandies photos. Enjoyed them all so much Thank You
ReplyDeleteYour grand daughter is such a cutie, birthdays at that age are always extra special.
ReplyDeleteBirthdays are such a big deal at that age! Such lovely show and tell......I love those teeny tiny little blocks. Pretty sure I have read that book and enjoyed it, but then I like quirky books.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how many tiny pieces are in those blocks! Such patience. What cuties those kids are. :-)
ReplyDeleteThose quilt blocks are so pretty, way too small for me, my eyes would not cope, your friends are very talented. I love the birthday girls photos, what little angels, they grow so quick. I wish I had my time again with my 14yo daughter, I would play more and stress less. Oh well a lesson for another generation. Thanks for sharing, Guida.
ReplyDeleteLovely show and tell. The princess sure looks cute!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Michelle - thank you for sharing. The tiny blocks are gorgeous. I like your fabric selection and what a great praty photo shoot. xx
ReplyDeleteGee, your friends are very talented, as are you. I find small blocks fairly easy if I hand piece them but quite difficult to sew on the machine. Love your grandies.Hmm, I don't think I shall read that book if you think it is a bit ho hum. So many others to read lol. Having said that, I want to get to my fav bookshop soon to buy a couple of new releases by my fav authors. There's no helping some people! Hehehe.
ReplyDelete3 1/2 inch blocks!?!? I don't think I would enjoy making those. Awesome to admire though.
ReplyDeleteAdore those family photos and your friends are as talented as you.
ReplyDeleteI though six and a half blocks were bad enough. Lovely blocks by your friends. Great birthday party by the looks of it. Hugs....
ReplyDeleteDear Michelle,
ReplyDeleteyou are trying to ignore the same project as myself. It is the 365 Challenge, a wonderful quilt. If you need the link to ignore it, just let me know.
Greetings,
Sylvia
