Wow, can't believe I've not posted for nearly three months. Life gets busy and there doesn't seem to be enough time to do everything. Thankfully that hasn't meant that crafting has been neglected!
I started a new project in the time I've been away, My favourite things by Red Boot Quilts. Each week Toni posts some new blocks, it is a free project but you are welcome to make a donation. Such a generous designer. I have decided to needleturn mine as I am not fond of blanket stitch anymore and this makes them a great portable project.
I printed and prepped the blocks as they were coming out and I just couldn't resist starting them and seeing as they were already to go they have progressed quite quickly and I am caught up with the blocks. Of course I've omitted a few but that's fine with Toni. Not sure how many blocks there will be but so far there is over 50.
Toni uses buttons for her eyes on the blocks but I have used wool felt for eyes and noses. A great alternative and kiddy safe.
Prepare for the photo onslaught....
I decided I should do a tally of works in progress... I have 11. How many is too many?
Are you prepared to confess to how many you have?
Seeing as I have caught up I will shift my attentions to my neglected Monsters quilt. Stay tuned!
Have a wonderful Day
Marina
