Crumb-Along #4

Now those were easy and I even had some 4 patches hanging around and was able to make those crumbs quick.

In there is a heart I made and a couple of crumby crumbs.  Oops my 9 patch looks too light - I'm going to have to make extra crumbs to have some leeway in the layout.  They can always go on the back.  Click here to see Jo's instructions for this week and her linky participants.  Not too late to join!

Fabric Tuesday 9/27/11

Here is my revised Fallen Dishes.  If you haven't seen it before, it was the topic of my previous post.  I really like it better with a smaller outside border.  You were right, Bertie - not so overwhelmed now.  Thank you!  And Billie - now we have the better of both worlds - a brown border and an applique that pops.

Design Wall Monday 9/26/11

I'm posting this early as I'm off to Duarte again to babysit Lily.  Thank you for your prayers for Barbara. They moved her from Intensive Care to Critical Care, so that's good. 

Besides my coverlet, I now have my Fallen Dishes on my design wall.  The workshop was saturday, but I couldn't go with all the catch-up I had to do last week.  I did go pick up the kit and saw a lot of lovely table toppers being assembled.  I've finished the flimsey.  Now I'll have to take some time and think of what to do to it next.  The flower is raw edge applique; ditto the leaf.  The stem is sewn then flipped.  What do you think?  Not sure I'm happy with the border - thought the print might do as there is so much tan/brown in the squares.  Maybe it will grow on me.
