Hi everyone. I have been busy lately, with a little home decorating. Well, my very able daughter No 1 did the work, and I was her lovely assistant :) I have however done some sewing. I made Grandaughter a trick or treat bag, but forgot to take a pic. I will try to put that right this week. I am trying very hard to keep up with the How far will you go QAL. It rained all afternoon today, soooo.....I got to sew. Here is block 9 Dutch Rose. Not as good as I would like, but with a little lot of reverse stitching I reached a point where I had to be satisfied with less than perfect. Dont look too close.
I also made a little cushion for a friend who will be 80 tomorrow. I made my variation of a pattern of Jenny of Elephantz. It is from her free Promises and Borders BOM. Thank you Jenny for your inspirational designs.
I also removed the beads from this small quilt and re-applied them so they all lie the same way. It is ready to wing its way to a new home soon. I am looking forward to making my final list of favourites from ALQS7. Although I dont know how I will choose. They are all so beautiful. Good night Bx
I love your Dutch Rose block! I haven't done mine yet, and was actually wondering if I should even try to make it as it looks very complicated. Beautiful cushion as well; I'm sure your friend will love it! xx
ReplyDeleteLots of fun sewing going on there. I, too, am looking forward to the ALQS list.
