Heart blocks

 

These are both "log cabin" hearts.  I love the scrappy feel to them!

 

 

I found both of these blocks on sewhooked.com If you have never seen her site, she has a lot of GREAT paper pieced designs.

 

And this has nothing to do with the quilting world, but I just wanted to give a shout out to my mom on her birthday today!! Love you!

Heart blocks

 

 

I am not sure where I found this block. It is a paper pieced block, but I used some strings I had had for the inside.  I LOVE the black background, but I think it's a little busy, so I think it shall be saved for sashing :)

Dr. Seuss

I posted in late June about how I was able to play with some fun Dr. Suess fabric.  (that post is here)  And this is what the final project was:

 

 

Curtains for my sisters classroom.  She teaches 1st grade, and has a Dr. Seuss theme, she asked if I would make her curtains, so we found the fabric online (and it was an excuse for me to buy more fabric hehe) and I sewed them up.  They actually didn't take THAT long, I serged the edges so I only had to turn them over once.  I think the hardest part was making sure they were both the same size! 

 

I have only made curtains one other time, and I hadn't realized that you were supposed to use double the width of the window! but I made sure it was big enough this time! 

Heart block

I had said I hadn't gotten much time in my sewing room, but then all of a sudden I was able to get into my room a few times and get stuff done!

I found the block here, I love how this one looks! and the blue and the orange works so well together!

Tote bag swap

I am SO far behind posting!! I received this in June, but I haven't been able to post about it!  I received this lovely bag from Sarah.  I think she did just a lovely job!! My only preference was the color purple.  And she did wonderful with it!! Very purple, and VERY me!

 

 

 

 

They will actually be doing another swap in August, I won't be able to join up because of school, but if you're interested check it out!

July blocks

This is the cute block I received from Ruth.  This is just adorable!  Such a friendly little kitty.

Here is the block that I sent Ruth. She asked for 30's prints.  And I don't have any, but I found some that I hope work.

June blocks

I hate being this far behind! These are my June block swap blocks

My partner asked for a log cabin block in batiks. I have plenty of those, so that wasn't an issue, trying to decide which ones on the other hand, that was a chore!

This is the block I received! It is lovely!

Anyone is welcome to join up!!
