Last weekend I had a big run on piecing for Gossip in the Garden.
 |
| Marking up all the periwinkle star pieces with dots for joining. |
 |
| Pinning and piecing. |
 |
| Laying them out on my bed (must get a design wall!) |
 |
| Part 4 all finished. |
These periwinkle stars were a pest to make but it was worth it in the end.
 |
And a couple tucked away for a later section.
Then it was onto Part 5. I just love all the block names. |
 |
| A bit of starch always helps. |
 |
| Shoofly block |
 |
| Another shoofly block - same layout but what a difference! |
 |
| Nice colour combination. |
 |
| Fork pins - another favourite tool. |
 |
| Patch star variation block |
 |
| Good ole Nine-patch |
 |
| Pieced squares |
And I finished one of the stitchery phrases.
Well I'm up for another weekend of sewing, off to my sister's today and then an Appliqué Guild meeting at Kaye's on Sunday. Hope you have a great weekend too!
lovely stitching . . . have a fun weekend
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful … you are streets ahead of me Carol. Great stitching though and so nice and bright isn't it! I know I can't wait each month for my goodies to arrive from Lenora. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love your new project, Carol. The colours are really fresh and feel like Springtime! Hopefully Spring will be here soon and we can get over this very cold and wet winter.
ReplyDeleteWow Carole - looks like this project is made for you - such precise piecing and points! And a nice cheerful project for these wintery days :)

ReplyDeleteAre you following a pattern, or making it up as you go? I guess I could go back through the posts to find that out.
