Busy with Broderie

I have completed four more broderie perse blocks for my Morrell quilt. They are all very different because of the fabrics used.

Remember these two that I accidentally sewed together here
All repaired now and worth the unpicking.

My other projects, particularly the 12 Days of Christmas and the Chester County Criswell quilt, continue to be neglected but I'm on a Morrell roll. I've even booked it in to be quilted so I have to finish it!

More Morrell

I've been working on my Morrell quilt and have finished 5 more broderie perse blocks...

I use a small button hole stitch on my machine. I change the top colours but keep a light grey in the bobbin. I worked on all five of these blocks simultaneously, ie all the green leaves, then yellow flowers etc. My other projects have been languishing but it feels good just to power through on one thing for a change.

Winterthur Winners!

Hubby has drawn the 2 winners out of the hat for the Winterthur fabric bird panels: 
Max & Louise (not sure if it was Lisa or Lou who left the comment?) and 
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!


These birds will be winging their way towards you. 
I'd love to see pics of how your panels get used in your sewing.
Cheers
