It's so hard to think of a post title sometimes?
I feel a bit like Maisie in this photo lately. The next holidays can't arrive quickly enough. I haven't been as crafty as I would like but last weekend I cut out all the bits for my block 7 of down in the garden and got it sewn up! I was so happy to have done it and quite happy with the arrangement too. As you know I tend to over think things sometimes and I have found that I could have 'colour themed' the blocks a little better instead of just randomly putting the colours. This happened with my boys story top too. If I had have just thought a bit more at the start it may have made fabric placement a little easier as ironically it is hard to be random sometimes!
Nevertheless here is block 7...
Last month I was early with my christmas Item and this month I will be a little late. I am going to try to finish quilting a tts hanging over the weekend so hopefully next week there will be a Christmas reveal.
Happy stitching

What's in a name anyway?

Block is looking good Marina, great when you get that sense of achievement.
ReplyDeleteAhem... Bagpuss took one look at Maisie and is smitten. He'd like her phone number when you have a minute. ;o)
ReplyDeleteDon't mention fabric placement to me.... I've torn out clumps of hair trying to get that right. Random is really tough!! I love your block... just remember if you gave the same block and fabric to 100 quilters they'd all place the fabric differently... it's just personal taste. So no worries eh!
Titles are the toughest part of blog posting. I can't write anything at all till I have one. Seems once the title comes the rest just flows.
Maisie is dangerous - she steals the show! But I have noticed that your block 7 is beautiful - your stitching always looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteLucky and deserving you!
Marina love that blog..nice win...
ReplyDeleteAdorable Maisie :)

Don't worry, your Down in the Garden is coming along beautifully.

I'd say Maisie is in the perfect place for our current weather conditions, sure makes me want to curl up with a pretty quilt for company.
ReplyDeleteLovely garden block- those colours really are perfect for gardening.
Lucky you and those pretty winnings.
Best you keep a tight hold on that little purse on Sunday - look forward to seeing it in the flesh.
Enjoy the rest of Saturday.
