Hello out there! Coming to you from "Cabin Fever Central".....
My efforts on Where You Love Is Home has been looking at me everytime I walk in my sewing room....you see I had piecing bits to do...sigh! The main thing bugging me was I had lots of small bow tie blocks to make and I have never really liked the "chop off the corners" style. I remember reading somewhere that you could sew a four patch and applique a square for the knot....so I gave it a go.....
And after this......
I also sewed two extra rows of hearts on so its growing too!
I also had some lovely mail. Designer Kim Diehl had a fund-raiser for the victims of the terrible tornado that struck Western Kentucky in early December. Proceeds from the sale of lovely scissors went to assistance. I chose the sweet butterfly version.....
Well folks 2 posts in the one month......winning!
Take care and stay safe........some visitors for breakfast this morning.
It is just making that first move.....you are on a roll with great progress. Well done. Enjoy the cake and books.
ReplyDeleteYour idea of using applique for the bow ties looks great. Great solution. All the blocks look wonderful together.
ReplyDeleteAnd the hearts are growing well, too.
Glad to see you staying safe at home and being looked after by family.
We have the same approach here until this round settles down. Very thankful for grocery deliveries and zoom.
You certainly are on a roll there Michelle, great idea you had, the quilt is looking wonderful. Love your hearts. Yay for your family relieving the stay at home Cabin Fever!! The cake looks amazing, and the books interesting. Very pretty scissors and visitors.
